Hey, I'm Shmoo.

I believe in creating software that bridges cultural gaps and brings people together.

Software that makes you feel connected - feel part of a world that is global in every sense of the word.

Software that tells stories of different cultures and the people who shape them.

I utilize figma and coding in conjunction with AI tools, all as a means to create intuitive and user-friendly digital experiences that speak to us as a people.
