I'm passionate about building social technology that connects people together to make the world a better place.
Seven years ago I started my own business, called Yoomee, to do just that.
I'm interested in working social entrepreneurs, non-profits, NGOs, local government and academic clients across the world and generally anybody that shares my passion for making the world a better place.
