Graduated from Oxford, completed a stint in big corporate as a strategy consultant for Oliver Wyman and worked as software engineer #9 for an early stage start-up. Now building meetmore.ai - found out more here! My interests fall into two main buckets:
Tech, start-ups and entrepreneurship. Snowden & Michael Bazell taught me the power of tech. Start-ups and Entrepreneurship taught me its gift of agency, leverage and freedom. I’m extremely lucky to have been born in the blip of time between Agricultural Feudalism and AGI feudalism. I do not intend to let my luck go to waste and am passionate about making an outsized, positive impact on the world.
Everything else. I love learning and there are so many things that capture my interest. From macro-economics to aspects of human psychology to state-building and everything in between! Sucks that competition means you can’t make as much time to just chill and read to your hearts content. But one day….
Some Building Highlights
‣
(Apr 2019 - Dec 2019)
- What:
- We delivered and collected books from the library for £10/month. The libraries were our distribution network and our catalogue. It was a sweet deal.
- Progress:
- Deployed with paying customers
- Secured a pilot with a Local Gov (12+ libraries) in 1.5 months. some said it would take 8.
- Accepted into public.io - Europe’s leading GovTech Accelerator
- Autopsy:
- We took a year out of University to pursue this and didn’t feel like we made enough progress to justify dropping out. Worst call made in history because COVID happened 4 months later.
- Proudest Achievements:
- I learnt how to code: Our technical co-founder left midway. I hated being dependent on anyone else for the most minor of things and wanted to continue our journey. 2 months later I shipped our product.
- We bypassed the bureaucracy: by finding the public numbers of local gov leaders and whatsapping them a short deck :)
