Transforming ideas into business-ready platforms through cloud infrastructure, web development and AI automation. With over two decades in IT, I combine deep technical expertise with strategic business insight to build and grow technology-driven companies. As co-founder and General Manager of Virtono.com, I’ve been at the forefront of cloud infrastructure, web hosting, and virtualization since 2012—guiding the company from bare-metal deployments to a global service platform. I thrive at the intersection of tech and business. My background spans the full stack of IT operations: from assembling and configuring servers, managing virtualization clusters, and developing web platforms to designing go-to-market strategies, leading teams, and overseeing customer success. I’ve personally supported clients, led support teams, and driven company-wide decisions across sales, marketing, and product development. In recent years, my focus has shifted toward an AI-first approach —leveraging artificial intelligence to reimagine how we build, automate, and deliver software. I’ve created AI-powered assistants, automation tools, and software integrations that streamline workflows and enhance user experience. I see AI not just as a tool, but as a fundamental layer in the future of development and infrastructure. Proficient in cloud architecture, DevOps practices, and modern software ecosystems, I bring an end-to-end understanding of how technical systems and business goals align. Whether building from the ground up or optimizing at scale, I bring a hands-on mindset, strategic clarity, and a passion for meaningful innovation.
