Founder | CTO | Product Builder | Systems Architect I’m a founder and CTO who builds ambitious products from idea to market. I work at the intersection of product strategy, deep technology, and execution — turning complex concepts into real platforms, teams, and go-to-market momentum. Most recently, as CTO at Forward Edge-AI, I helped drive advanced secure communications and post-quantum cybersecurity initiatives, while leading the vision and architecture behind next-generation management and control platforms supporting mission-critical systems.
