Entrepreneur | Investor | Advisor | Founder I am a seasoned tech entrepreneur, investor, and strategic advisor with deep roots in Silicon Valley's innovation ecosystem. As the Founder & CEO of Akava, I lead a premier technology consultancy that partners with hypergrowth startups and Fortune 500 enterprises—including Uber, Oracle, Charles Schwab, Disney, and T-Mobile—to deliver next-gen cloud, DevOps, web, and mobile solutions. In addition to building cutting-edge software products, we also provide technology due diligence services, helping investors and acquirers assess the companies they invest in. Beyond building and scaling technology-driven businesses, I am passionate about mentoring and supporting the next generation of founders and innovators. I actively mentor through 1871, BUILD.org, Code2040, and IdeaVillage, helping entrepreneurs navigate critical growth stages. I also advise multiple early-stage startup founders, providing strategic guidance on product development, go-to-market strategies, fundraising, and scaling operations to accelerate growth and long-term success. As an investor, my portfolio spans late-stage venture funds, high-potential startups, and emerging crypto opportunities. With a vision for driving meaningful impact, I thrive at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and investment, helping businesses scale, innovate, and navigate complex growth landscapes.
