Co Founder & Coo

I was the Co-founder & COO of Swipelux — an API-first fiat payment infrastructure backed by stablecoins. Over the past 4+ years, I helped grow the company from the ground up: leading operations, go-to-market strategy, compliance support, and investor relations. We raised multimillion-dollar funding, onboarded 180+ clients worldwide, and secured a VASP license in Estonia.

This journey gave me deep insight into the intersection of technology, finance, and human behavior — and solidified my passion for building tools that drive progress and reduce friction in the digital economy. Now, I’m looking for a new challenge where I can bring this experience to a forward-thinking team working on impactful products — especially in AI, fintech, or Web3.
