About me

I didn’t start in the spotlight. I started in support late night shifts, fixing issues quietly while no one watched. No fancy title. Just me a screen and the quiet discipline to keep showing up. That chapter taught me the most: about patience, pressure and showing up even when you feel invisible. I’ve since moved across the tech world—engineering, consulting, R&D, transformation projects and now working with Generative AI. Yes from the outside it might seem like a lot of change like I was jumping from one thing to another. But for me, it was never random. The titles, the transitions, the tech they were never the real goal. I wasn’t chasing promotions. I was chasing understanding. How things work. How people break. How systems fail. What actually matters. And how to build something that lasts without losing yourself in the process. Why I’m here Let’s be honest. Most of us are carrying more than we say out loud. Success on the outside, but burnout on the inside. Leading teams while quietly falling apart. Working in high performance environments while questioning if any of it is meaningful. If that resonates you’re not alone. I’ve been there. I still go there sometimes. That’s why I’m here on Topmate. Not to offer quick fixes. Not to act like I’ve figured it all out. But to create space for real conversations about work, mental health, leadership, self doubt, purpose and everything in between. Most people don’t need quick fixes. They need space. Clarity. Perspective. A reminder that they’re not alone. This space is for you if: You’re feeling stuck or lost even if your LinkedIn looks fine You’re burnt out but still trying to hold it together You’re leading but it’s lonely and heavy You’re ambitious but wondering what the ambition is even for anymore You’re craving guidance and clarity in life You just need a safe space to talk, vent, reflect or feel heard What I offer I offer: Mentorship that’s grounded, honest and deeply human Guidance shaped by experience Mental health conversations without judgment or pretense Support if you're in a messy middle or quiet turning point I won’t give you fluff or just be positive advice. I’ll listen. I’ll ask hard questions. And I’ll meet you where you are with compassion not judgment. I’ve worked across sectors, worn multiple hats, achieved things I once thought were out of reach. But what I’m proudest of? Still showing up. Still staying real. Still choosing meaning over image. And I’m still in progress. Still evolving. Still figuring things out too. I’m not here as a finished product. I’m here as someone who’s walking the path too with curiosity, integrity and compassion. No filters. No mask. If you choose to reach out, come as you are. Not your best version just your real one. This space only works if we’re honest. So bring your questions, your mess, your truth not a performance. I’m not here for transactional chats or surface level small talk. I’m here for what’s real the stuff we don’t usually say out loud. Let’s have the conversation you’ve been putting off. Let’s talk. Human to human.
