About

Where technology
meets the business
that runs on it.

I study Business Administration at Seton Hall's Stillman School, with a focus on Finance Technology and Supply Chain. What holds my attention is the gap between how a business says it works and how it really works. That gap is where time gets wasted, and I like fixing it.

Most of that work is now AI agents. I build them to read a task the way a person would, work out what is really being asked, find what they need, and finish the job instead of just suggesting one. I did exactly that last summer at NLC Financial Services. I built websites and digital tools, brought AI into the firm's daily work, and shipped a dashboard that took their weekly paperwork off people's plates.

Before the technical work, I learned to sell. I did it at farmers markets, where nobody arrives planning to buy from you and no brand name does the work for you. Every conversation started from nothing, so I learned to read people fast and change the pitch on the spot. That is how I made $20,000 in sales, one conversation at a time, and where I built the habit of never giving up. Eight years of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, now at a purple belt, made that habit stronger, because you only get better by showing up again after you lose.
