I build systems that do not break. My drive to master the "Game of Business and Systems" was sparked by watching the 2008 housing crisis unfold on live television at the age of 11—teaching me early on that in this arena, the stakes are high and ROI is the ultimate performance metric. Over my career, I’ve architected high-performance digital infrastructure responsible for generating massive volume, and I currently serve as the CEO of Artis, the market-making arm of Faculty Group. Having co-founded a Web3 Neobank backed by $16M in funding and managed a risk department with a $250M AUM, I know firsthand that delivering successful, high-stakes digital products requires the underlying software to be absolutely impeccable. Beyond executive operations, I remain deeply technical at my core. I’m a systems-first developer proficient in native programming languages and an early adopter of artificial intelligence, with active repositories dating back to 2020. My approach to engineering mirrors how I run a business: I strip away the noise to deliver concise, digestible insights and bulletproof solutions. Whether I’m advising billion-dollar enterprises or forecasting technological shifts, my system-oriented mindset ensures that businesses scale securely on unyielding technology. Outside the codebase and the boardroom, I am an avid auto enthusiast, dedicating my downtime to my own cars and connecting fellow sports car owners with charitable causes.

My tools of choice usually come down to java and python, although I love learning new things! My day to day hobbies consist out of gym, gaming and doing the most random things known to mankind. Why a Tundra you may ask? Because it's cool, that's why.
