About Me

Pioneering the future of sustainable fashion through innovative technology

I'm a seasoned co-founder and startup entrepreneur based in Toronto, Ontario, with a passion for transforming the fashion industry through sustainable technology solutions. As the Co-founder and CTO of Haute-u AR Technologies Inc., I'm at the forefront of integrating cutting-edge AI and AR technologies.

With 15 years of experience in financial technology, I bring analytical prowess and strategic insight to the challenging world of startups. My mission is to eliminate waste generated by returns from online shopping while boosting e-commerce sales and championing the slow fashion movement.

Featured in The Globe and Mail for my pioneering work, I'm fundamentally changing how people shop online by making it as engaging and precise as visiting a physical store, directly addressing the "disease aggressively attacking profit" – sky-high product returns.
