I grew up to become a university graduate with a BComm specializing in operations management. I started my career doing route planning for a logistics company but I realised over time it wasnt what made me happy. I have always loved working with people and on projects so naturally marketing seemed like the perfect collaborative industry for me.
For the last 5 years I have worn many different hats within the marketing world, but my favourite part of this is the project management and the processes that exist within it. Whether its building a website, creating an SEO and PPC strategy, or just setting up analytics to show you the data of your website, I love the feeling of completing a project and getting to admire what has been created. There is nothing better than working with people over the course of months and years and being that go-to person when there is a tough question.
Outside of my work, I love to travel and try new kinds of food. Indian, Thai, and Mexican are my favourite foods.
I have always loved sports. In my spare time for me it is pickleball, golf, or simulator racing. When I'm relegated to stands or watching on tv, I am usually watching NFL (Patriots fan), NRL (Tigers/Dolphins fan), or F1 (Mclearn fan).
I also make a pretty good cocktail afterhours, my top 3 are a Mojito, Paper Planes, and Classic Whiskey Sour.

I've worked with more than 100 clients from all around the world to make lots and lots of websites. Some of these websites are for buying things, like clothes, beauty care, Electronics, Yoga or Health products, and others are for businesses, like Cleaning Service Providers, Local Solution Providers etc.
When I'm not busy making awesome websites, I like to play badminton. It's a fun game where you hit a little shuttlecock back and forth with a racket. I'm pretty good at it!
And when it comes to food, I love Indian food the most! I really enjoy spicy flavours that make my taste buds dance.
But the coolest thing about me is how I love to solve problems. Whenever something tricky comes up in making a website, I see it as a fun challenge to figure out. I'm always learning new things to make my websites even better!
So, if you ever need a website, I'm the guy to go to! I'll build you something amazing that you'll love using!
