About
Started selling electronics in college. Outgrew Zapier and Google Sheets, and in 2009 set out to build an order management system, which eventually became Openship. Openship connects to any e-commerce platform.
Then set out to build his own Shopify alternative, as part of the same ecosystem. Then decided to build an all open-source Shopify for every vertical. So far six have launched, and twenty more are in the pipeline.
On the way he built a software factory and a personal OS that manages all of this orchestration.
The long-term vision is an open source decentralized marketplace, powered by the open source commerce software.
