About · Tokyo, Japan
Hi, I’m Noaa.
I build products, teams, and the integrations that connect them. My work spans startup engineering, payments, developer platforms, and AI agents.
Co-founder and engineering leader with 9+ years of experience across startups and companies including Spotify, Klarna, and Firecrawl. Hands-on in architecture, cloud infrastructure, payments, and taking products from zero to launch.
What I’m working on
My current roles run concurrently: I build partner integrations at Firecrawl and lead technology as co-founder and CTO at Venga. Alongside those roles, I maintain open-source tools and build independent apps through Noaa AB.
Venga

I lead technology strategy, architecture, and the technical roadmap, partnering with the CEO on product and fundraising strategy, technical due diligence, and investor demos.
