How I Work

The Operating System

"Navigating a large portfolio with ADHD means building systems that turn simultaneous projects into focused execution."

When he isn't filing provisional patents for 6-layer DePIN architectures, he is likely co-parenting, traveling with his partner Mery, or building out his "Prompt Master" tools.

Systems Over Vibes

Every decision is routed through a framework. Intuition informs, but systems decide.

AI-Augmented Workflow

Custom context-capture tools and AI-agent workflows ensure simultaneous projects never mean fragmented focus.

Lean Starting Points

Prefers direct communication, minimal viable structure, and tech that proves its ROI before it scales.

Los Angeles Based

Operating from LA — co-parenting, traveling with partner Mery, and building out Prompt Master tools.
