He has not yet ventured into paid launch-discovery tools, preferring to leverage free templates and organic methods. This has led him to develop a keen sense for efficiency and resourcefulness. His current work involves developing a client onboarding portal for a SaaS company and an inventory management system for an e-commerce startup.
