Founder at Teamu

With a strong foundation in both full-stack development and product management, I have successfully taken Teamu, a Gen-AI-powered Social Media platform, from concept to launch, overseeing all aspects of design, coding, promotion, and growth. My technical expertise includes Flutter for responsive design and third-party integrations, PostgreSQL with advanced extensions, and cloud services via Google Cloud. I'm skilled in generative AI, utilizing tools like Pytorch for fine-tuning and recommendation systems. I also bring a deep understanding of user analytics (Mixpanel), UI/UX (Figma), and agile methodologies, driving product success with data-driven insights and innovation.
