Current Focus

Focus 1

Education, Employment & Economic Contributions

I'm curious about what happens to education, employment, and economic mobility as AI accelerates. In 2025, 262 million young people globally are not in employment, education, or training (source). The infrastructure meant to support them was built for a world where middle management existed as a safety net, where hierarchical mentorship was the default, and where career paths were somewhat predictable. That world is disappearing.

I'm building Gen Yodha - a platform for early-career professionals (0–7 years) to build real peer-to-peer support systems. Not another feed to scroll. A tool that understands your context through weekly reflection, then tells you who to connect with, what to focus on, and what your next move could be.

Who is making sure the people entering the workforce right now - the ones with the least leverage - have real access to opportunity, not just information?

Focus 2

Marketing's Role in AI

Most marketers interact with AI without truly understanding its architecture or implications. They're adopting tools without developing real comprehension of what they're using. I'm interested in closing that fluency gap.

On the applied side - when I built Gen Yodha's AI career coach, I had to implement crisis detection, location-based resource routing, and cultural context awareness, because a generic response to someone in distress isn't just unhelpful, it's dangerous. That taught me what it actually means to build AI that listens to people.

Marketing has the same problem at scale: the gap between what AI surfaces about customer needs and what organizations actually do with that insight - where does that opportunity really live?

My GTM Strategy for Miro’s ā€œWorkshop Templates Hubā€

Miro is already known as the go-to for async collaboration & workshops. But its marketplace is fragmented, and I think there’s an opportunity to build a "Workshop Templates Hub" powered by their best creators, agencies & partners!

Community + How I work

Community isn’t built through vanity metrics, it’s built in rooms, classrooms, workshops, and conversations. Here’s how I show up beyond just content.

My Go-to-market with Notion AI launch ā€œNotion Templates Marketplaceā€

Notion has built a large base of power users, creators, and teams. With the rise of AI, they launched ā€œNotion AIā€, but an untapped growth lever is creating an AI-powered Template Marketplace that helps users apply AI instantly to their workflows.

This case study explores how I would go-to-market with Notion's AI Template Marketplace, focused on creator adoption, user education, and monetization.
