About Doa Jafri

I\'m a lifelong learner that taught myself to code as a kid, started small businesses, and naturally ended up in startups after college. I ended up scaling startup teams and working as an intra-preneur. I\'m currently an Interim CTO rapidly testing AI and low-code applications at early-stage startups. I\'m a strong people manager and think innovation & culture go hand-in-hand.
