Founder & Engineer

Building Nowah. Less talk, more code.
Currently between Bali and Singapore, at the keyboard on Sundays.
About
Mechanical engineer by trade. In college I practically lived in the workshop, building go-karts and ATVs and chasing a full-ride automotive scholarship that life quietly took off the table.
Then the path bent. I started out in ads, slid into SEO, then marketing, running internal comms and digital at Terraform Labs, then NEAR, where I did the same plus a lot of ecosystem work.
A keyboard on a church stage every week since sixth grade has kept me steady through all of it. Born ’97, so you can do the math. I’ve been through a fair bit to get here, and now I’m building my second company.
Work
-
Nowah Founder & CEO 2026 – Now
Building the travel infrastructure AI agents will book on. Flights, hotels, and the messy parts, in one place.
-
Donatuz Founder & CEO 2023 – 26
Built a creator payments platform from nothing and got The Economic Times to cover it, then killed it to go all in on Nowah.
-
NEAR India Comms 2022 – 23
Led communications and ecosystem growth. Brand voice, partnerships, AMAs, and pitch help for portfolio projects.
-
Terraform Labs Communications 2021 – 22
Ran PR, media, and crisis communications for the product suite, out of Singapore. Some of the community updates were mine, like this one.
Before that, digital marketing and freelance content across 2017 to 2021.
Now
Travel is a $1.9 trillion industry still running on infrastructure from the 1960s.
Nowah is the AI travel agent that takes you from inspiration to arrival. One conversation handles the flights, the stays, and even the visa.
I kept staring at that gap, the one nobody was actually closing, until I couldn’t not build for it. Donatuz was the first company, and it’s winding down now. Nowah is the second, and the one I’m all in on.
This is the work I’m proud of. See Nowah.
Blind faith in God. That’s how I do it.
