Entrepreneurship


I love solving problems -
And take pride in the products I build

Current

CEO & Founder

After a decade building regulatory SaaS products and leading different teams through acquisitions, raises and mergers, I was ready for a new challenge that could use my skillsets for maximum benefit. That challenge became UnicornForms: a modern platform designed to make paperwork, signatures, and forms seamless for teams that still rely on clunky PDFs and manual processes.

The idea for UnicornForms came from realizing that document workflows with signatures, approvals, versioning and more was still stuck in the past. I started building a better way, combining my background in compliance tech, AI/ML, and user-centered product design to reimagine how forms should work in the modern workplace.

UnicornForms is more than a product. It's the result of 15 years of experience solving complex problems for enterprise clients. I'm proud to lead this next chapter as a founder, building tools that reduce friction, boost compliance, and create better user experiences for teams of all sizes.


Former

Director of Product Management & Planning

I started at Decernis two years after its founding and have spent the next decade plus building up its SaaS product portfolio. My products respond to the challenges faced by leading brands and manufacturers in managing and complying with complex global regulations.

My entrepreneurship journey started when I was a part-time researcher and realized that my work could be automated. Rather than remaining content with manual and mundane tasks I learned Python. Shortly after I pitched my first product idea, which happened to lead to two patents, and I began my journey first as a developer then a product manager.

I have made a career out of following my curiosity and risen through the ranks. I am proud to be part of the senior leadership at Decernis. In 2019 we were acquired by FoodChain ID.


Patents

Current search algorithms, such as Google’s PageRank, inadequately met our client needs because highly ranked sites mean that they are already highly known while recent international events for governments and agencies rank low. By tracking media at the source, indexing ingredient and chemical names and determining relevance of news document we can alert customers to these events in real time, saving them millions of dollars.
