Swiftsign
Pre-Seed
2020 - 2024 • CEO & Founder

Founded and launched a B2B contract management platform in just 5 months

B2B contracting is painful. Companies are using more than five tools to create, negotiate, and sign just one contract. This costs companies valuable time and is highly inefficient, leading to long sales cycles, lost revenue, increased costs, and no scalability.

Using Swiftsign, every team manages contracts faster, more simply, and all in one place.

  • Led the design and launch of a complex contract workflow product, achieving a successful launch with 12 beta companies within 5 months.

fraud0
Series A
2022 - Today • Founding Product Designer

Building a bot detection and analytics software to reduce your ad spent

Using fraud0, fraudulent traffic can be identified and blocked from all channels to help marketers make clear decisions again.

Seed
2019-2020 • Founding Product Designer

Led the design of three product pivots based on intensive research in the audio transcription field

Professionals spend on average 6-8 hours in total preparing and correcting a transcript of a one hour interview. This manual process is highly inefficient, costing companies valuable time, leading to high costs and lost revenue.

The in-house developed AI from Tucan: 10x accelerates the transcription of every audio to create accurate transcripts.

STINT
Series A
2018 • Founding Product Designer

Built my first end-to-end MVP within 4 months for a current industry leader
