OVERVIEW
Please find below my biography. I love building new online services or products that can be distributed worldwide. In the past, we have invested (with my brother) in over 15 companies in several countries. We were always very active board members to help shape the organisation and the products/services.
I moved to Singapore 14 months ago and I am now launching a new worldwide service that will be available only on mobile devices.
I am looking for a short team of smart developers in the mobile space who wants to make the world better and easier via our product. If you think that you are the right one then buzz me anytime and join my team.
