Co-Founder & CTO · May 2026 – Present · Dublin, Ireland

Done-for-you retention for consumable Shopify brands, built inside the Hatch105 accelerator: predict each customer's run-out, nudge them over SMS and WhatsApp, convert with a one-tap pre-seeded checkout.

  • Took Presterly from first commit (12 June 2026) to seven live merchant brands in six weeks, inside Hatch105, the Dublin startup accelerator.
  • Architected and built the multi-tenant platform end-to-end: Shopify and Klaviyo integrations, token-on-order attribution, and a per-customer, per-product run-out prediction engine backtested against real order history.
  • Live today: 127,000 customers under management, over €18M of order history analysed, ~240,000 predictions refreshed daily, backed by 6,211 passing tests.
  • Built Presterly into an approved Meta WhatsApp Business Platform Tech Provider, and shipped a hosted tier so a merchant never has to own WhatsApp infrastructure of their own.
