  Founder

  I’m the Founder of MoonlightApps, focusing on uncovering the biggest e-commerce challenges that need fresh solutions. Right now, that means after-hours brainstorming, talking with e-commerce professionals, and occasionally catching those “aha” moments late at night. My goal is to turn those ideas into user-friendly apps that help online stores shine brighter than ever.
