I have a passion for leveraging technology to promote Christian-based values.

I bring over 35 years of experience in diverse technologies, including cloud, web, and mobile. Throughout my career, I have successfully led new product initiatives, conducted valuable research and development, streamlined processes, and implemented crucial application software. I thrive in tackling intricate problems and driving positive change in products, processes, and teams.

In addition to my technical proficiency, I am deeply involved in my faith and have taken on various roles within the church. I have been a Sunday School Teacher, Royal Ranger Commander, and an active volunteer for numerous church activities. My strong faith and technical skills are the driving forces behind my passion for creating Harkly.

The problem

The current social media landscape is often fraught with inappropriate content and behavior, including hate speech, nudity, and bullying. These issues can be particularly problematic for believers who want to engage with like-minded individuals in a positive and uplifting environment. Many believers are looking for a platform that aligns with their values and provides a space where they can share their passions and engage with others without fear of being exposed to inappropriate content or behavior. Also, faith-based organizations lack a dedicated platform to promote their services.

The Solution

The solution that Harkly is offering is a faith-based social media platform designed to connect people and communities through short-form videos that are inspirational, uplifting, clean, and fun. The platform provides a safe and welcoming space for Christians and people of faith to express themselves, share their passions, and engage with like-minded individuals.

Harkly offers a range of features allowing users to create and customize their profiles, follow others, and share their short videos with their community. The platform also provides a personalized discovery feed, allowing users to discover new content, connect with others who share their interests, and grow their community.

To ensure the platform remains safe and welcoming for all users, Harkly leverages state-of-the-art AI-powered moderation technology that can detect and remove inappropriate content and behavior.
