Building the company

I co-founded Traw, an AI-driven visual collaboration platform. As CEO, I led core product development, AI features, the search for product–market fit, fundraising, and go-to-market.

A canvas built for performance

I built the collaborative canvas around Three.js and WebGL to address rendering performance. Canvas content was stored and rendered as vector data, making it easier to edit and analyze.

From conversation to notes

The product combined a real-time shared canvas with audio calls and transcription. People could meet around the same visual workspace and generate meeting notes from the conversation.

The next chapter

Goodnotes acquired Traw in 2023. The standalone service was subsequently discontinued, and I joined Goodnotes, where the experience and technology informed further work on AI meeting tools.
