I see myself as a very curious person and also a problem solver, This I believe is what led to my journey for almost a decade exploring different businesses in different industries.
My zone of genius has always been Technology and breaking down complex and this is all I do now, with my podcast - Tech your Business and also my business.

When I'm not doing that, I love to travel, read and take things apart (car, mobile phone, anything that catches my fancy).
