I can help founders build and tune consumer matching products — from the first algorithmic loop to an honest growth model. Across Mamba, Zang, MyDiaspora, Unison, and now Harmonizer, I’ve shipped multiple versions of onboarding, matching, and monetization mechanics and seen what actually moves retention.
I’m useful on early validation and go-to-market for dating/social apps, including research framing (e.g., Big Five positioning), store readiness (imprint, policy), and the gritty parts of operating — from Telegram-era bots to U.S. App Store launches.

›Designing first-match loops that survive day-7 retention
›When to use personality models vs. behavior signals
›Playbooks for testing dating apps via Telegram bots
