WISK.ai
1,000+ restaurant clients. Multi-million dollar revenue. Nearly 9 years of full-time building, hiring, fundraising, scaling. The company is still serving paying customers today.
The same instinct has driven everything: find a real problem, build the system that solves it, scale it until it runs without you.
At WISK.ai, it was restaurant operators drowning in manual inventory counts. The solution became a platform used by over 1,000 restaurants, generating multi-million dollar revenue, backed by investors. At OMsignal, it was making sense of biometric data from wearable shirts. That product was acquired by Honeywell.
The pattern is always the same: observe a broken process, build the infrastructure, ship something that works, then make it work for thousands. The product changes. The instinct doesn't.
Today I run IdeaPlaces: a portfolio of indie tools and AI products. Every product started as a pattern observed across multiple companies. Three instances of the same problem becomes a product.
Built and scaled. Acquired and exited. Advised and rebuilt. Each one widened the lens that powers what's shipping now.

Bio-sensing wearables. Raised over $10M. Acquired by Honeywell. Built the engineering org from one person.
Mobile banking. PWC-approved security audit. Enterprise-grade compliance.
XpertSea (aquaculture), Alveole (urban beekeeping), and others. Architecture, React Native, AWS, Python. Each engagement widened the lens that powers IdeaPlaces today.
