Welcome

Solving problems
one product at a time

*Often times multiple

Hi I'm Ihaz! I like figuring things out by building.

I grew up on the internet, drawn to products that feel magical because they make something hard suddenly easy.

Right now, I'm solving everything money related for businesses at Volopay, taking them 0→1 leading Cards, Growth, and AI products.

I'm curious by default, and I like talking to people who are trying to bend the world a little.

Hello, I'm Ihaz!

A generalist, a jack of all trades, mastering the art of learning.

I grew up on the internet and love products that feel like magic, the kind that change how people live or work once they exist.

This is a space to share a bit about me, my work, and more importantly why and how I work.

I am currently solving everything money related for businesses at Volopay, taking them from 0→1 leading Cards, Growth, and AI products.

What excites me most is turning messy problems into simple systems that compound over time.
Always curious, always up for a chat, especially if it bends how we think the world should work.
