Building & Scaling MVPs for Startups | CTO at AscendStudio
Hello and welcome to my profile! I'm a co-founder at AscendStudio, a technologist at heart, and a passionate advocate for startups. My journey began as an entrepreneur where I faced challenges, tasted failure, but most importantly, learned invaluable lessons. It was these experiences that honed my skills and fueled my passion for technology and startups.
In my career, I've worked extensively with early-stage startups, helping them build and scale their apps and web apps. I've been in the trenches, I've navigated the startup terrain, and now, I'm dedicated to utilizing my experiences to assist other startups in their journey from zero to one.
At AscendStudio, we're not just a service provider. We're a partner, sharing in your vision, your passion, and your success. We're here to help transform your ideas into viable, scalable MVPs, setting you on the path to success. Let's connect and ascend together.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
