Hello. My name is Arvin - and I live in Vancouver Canada with my toy poodle, Monto.
My love is for the transformation and complete reinvention of how humans interact with computers. I create experiences that evoke awe, wonder, empowerment, and inspiration. I question and reconceptualize all design and engineering standards that have been accepted as the way things are.
I am led by an obsessive drive for mastery in anything I am curious about. And I daydream excessively.
My ferocious rigor for epistemological learning and ontological groking should not be mistaken as indicating the presence of a very serious man. Imagine Jeremy Clarkson is narrating my written work. Or Devin Banks.
I’m a business operator who cut his teeth on retail floors before steering fintech ventures and high-growth startups. From owning P&Ls to shipping AI-powered products - I’ve led teams as small as 4 and as large as 60 - rallying engineers, marketers, and ops into one focused force.
Years of intensive leadership, consulting, and communication training sharpened my facilitation style. I'm direct, accountable, and relentlessly growth-oriented - so rough ideas turn into launch-ready, user-loved solutions in weeks, not quarters.
Listening is the clearing in which speaking can occur—without it, there isn’t any speaking.
Listening doesn’t receive speaking, it isn’t a receptacle for speaking—it gives speaking.
-Brian Regnier
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.
-Steve Jobs
The world is made by those who control their own destiny. It isn't made by those who don't do, it's made by those who do do.
