Bali Secrets
Co-Founder & Project Manager
I co-founded Bali Secrets in 2015 and shortly after it became the best selling natural deodorant on Amazon. I was the company’s investor, project manager and business strategist. I sold my part in Bali Secrets in 2019.
PeepSo
Founder & CEO
PeepSo is a social network plugin for WordPress. It competes directly with BuddyPress and is the leading social networking application on the platform. I built the app from scratch and sold it in 2017.
Urban Springs
Co-Founder & CEO
This was an exciting start-up project that I initiated, aimed at installing thousands of water refill stations across Europe and the US. Our goal was to use a proprietary process to turn city tap water into fresh, natural spring water, helping to reduce the harm caused by plastic bottles while providing consumers with healthy, fresh water. Unfortunately, the project didn’t come to fruition due to different reasons. Despite not seeing the light of day, I am still proud of the concept and the potential impact it could have had.
iJoomla
Founder & CEO
I founded iJoomla in 2006 to create an easy way for small businesses to build their own online magazines. Joomla and WordPress were almost equally popular then, and the market was open and hungry. The company took off immediately, becoming famous for creating complex, professional-quality products that were easy to use. I’ve spoken at a number of notable Joomla and open source events over the years. I sold iJoomla in 2017.
JomSocial
Owner & CEO
I acquired JomSocial in 2013, and improved its operations, features, and customer satisfaction. The testing automation I implemented in JomSocial was the first in the Joomla environment. I sold JomSocial in 2017
Cropping Tool
Creator
I’ve created this tool years ago and it was way ahead of the curve! Our technologically advanced AI algorithms can crop close to 90% of all images that have a “human face” — blurry and fuzzy photos as well as clear ones. For the past 15 years, we have been working with one of the largest dating networks and our tool automatically crops over 20 million photos each year, saving them enormous amount of time and money.
LookBetterOnline
Co-founder & CTO
I co-founded LookBetterOnline in 2003 to help online daters improve their results. We partnered with large dating sites including Match.com, Jdate.com, and AmericanSingles.com—and photographed more than 12,000 people. The company was featured in publications including USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Good Morning America and more. I sold LookBetterOnline in 2018.
