🧑‍💻 About Me

Builder. Technologist. Product hacker. I specialize in Web3, mobile apps, and end-to-end digital systems. I lead MountPackt, an agile team that turns ambitious product ideas into polished, high-performance software. From Solana programs to AI apps, Framer websites to mobile launchers — if it’s bold and meaningful, I build it.
