Since starting my one-man business in 2014, I've been fortunate to have met great talent all over the globe, invented amazing technologies, and founded multiple business tracks.
First, I was selling (often patented) Augmented Reality technologies to Silicon Valley. Then, I was building Virtual Reality-based industry-grade training simulators leveraging on my PhD-level knowledge for the US and Australia markets. I've been in charge of R&D for a dozen startups as Chief Technology Officer and helped many more as a consultant or technical advisor.
I have handpicked the most talented individuals from my network of 20,000 professionals that I've grown over my decade-long solopreneur career. Currently, I run 3 separate businesses, both solo and with my network, develop new software products every year, and write e-books about the art of solopreneurship.
I've thrived for excellence ever since I was a kid, getting school awards every year, academic and sports. I finished my Ph.D. in Virtual Reality technologies at 29, after which I was career-rocketing in the automation industry for nearly 4 years, in 4 roles. In 2013, I became a technical startup founder for the first time, and I've been in love with creating new software products and businesses ever since. I turned that startup experience into my one-man business the following year. That's over a decade ago now.
I've been awarded as a scientist, inventor, software developer, team leader, and solopreneur. Featured by Upwork, the world's premier work marketplace, for solopreneur excellence multiple times over. As a demonstration of my personal productivity, I've completed over 100 projects, invented 25 patents, coauthored 55 science papers, built multiple revenue streams, and earned 3-digit-figure hourly rates soon after I started my business.
I bring a wealth of theoretical knowledge, best practices, strategic decision-making, solid hands-on R&D skills, and a great deal of effective leadership to every project I engage with. And sometimes, I just come up with crazy stuff nobody else could even dream of! I go deep, and I go quick! Let's team up!
