Currently at Basepilot (YC W24), creating AI employees to automate repetitive back-office work. For example, finance, recruitment, or sales teams can easily automate mundane back-office tasks within a few clicks and a quick demonstration.I have a background in engineering, product, and finance. Truly a generalist at heart. I'm extremely passionate about startups and solving problems that enable more access to opportunity and intelligence.

In order to move the needle in a startup, a key skill was the ability to prioritise tasks for myself and the team.
