I’m a technology entrepreneur and partner at Civitta, focused on helping TravelTech, FinTech, and LegalTech companies turn complex systems into scalable, dependable products.

I founded HackTech at 19 and grew it into a 70-person engineering firm with $3M ARR and clients in 25+ countries. After its acquisition by Civitta, I continue the journey as a Partner, combining deep engineering execution with advisory and strategic work.

I value long-term collaboration, strong personal relationships, and teams that care about outcomes, not slide decks.

Stanford LEAD participant. Speaker at industry events. Open to meaningful conversations.

You’re in New York for a few days.
You have an important meeting.

The city gets hit by the biggest snowstorm in 30 years.
No Uber. No taxis. No transportation.

What do you do?

You put on your boots and start walking.

Sometimes things don’t go as planned.
Flights get delayed.
Systems fail.
Markets change.

You can wait and complain.
Or you move anyway.

A 40-minute walk in a snowstorm won’t kill a deal.
A stopped mindset might.

Keep moving.

Two weeks until I’m back in San Francisco for the Stanford University Graduate School of Business Me2We event.

Grateful to return this time as a speaker.
I’ll be running a workshop on a topic I keep seeing across companies:

Innovation usually isn’t broken.
It’s blocked.

Blocked by structure.
Blocked by habits.
Blocked by unclear ownership.

Looking forward to the conversations and to seeing familiar faces from the LEAD community.

Excited to be a #speaker at Stanford University Graduate School of Business as part of the Me2We program.

My #workshop was built around a simple idea.

Innovation is not broken.
It’s blocked.

Most organizations don’t lack ideas.

They lack the environment to turn those ideas into reality.

Processes built for stability.
Teams comfortable with the old way.
Leaders waiting for proof before supporting change.

Great conversations and perspectives from an incredible group of leaders in the room.

Because once you start seeing the blockers clearly,
you can start removing them.

Some events you attend once.

Some you start coming back to every year.

Stanford LEAD Me2We is becoming one of those for me.

Seeing familiar faces again.
Catching up with friends you met last time.
Meeting new people who quickly feel like part of the same circle.

Great conversations.
Different perspectives.
And a lot of fun along the way.

These are the moments that make communities real.

Already looking forward to the next one.

New York is a good reminder.

Tech is not a department it’s the business.

Every company I met this week is trying to move faster.
Ship faster.
Adopt AI faster.

But speed isn’t the real problem.
Execution is.

Legacy systems.
Too many tools.
No clear ownership.

That’s where most projects slow down.

If you’re scaling a product, modernizing systems,
or figuring out how AI actually fits your workflow -
let’s talk.

We spend most of our time helping teams turn ideas into shipped products.

I’m excited to host a Braindate session at NVIDIA GTC

AI agents are everywhere right now.
But what actually works in production?
And where does the hype still exceed reality?

Looking forward to sharing lessons from real projects and hearing how others are using AI agents inside their organizations.

If you’re attending GTC, let’s connect. 🚀

Yesterday I attended the DC Tech Meetup – HealthTech edition.

Great conversations with founders building new healthcare products.

What always fascinates me about HealthTech is the complexity behind it.

It’s not just building an app.

It’s integrating with hospital systems.
Handling sensitive patient data.
Meeting strict regulatory and security requirements.

Software in healthcare has to work reliably, securely, and at scale.

This is exactly where the intersection of advisory and engineering becomes critical.

At Civitta, this is exactly what we do.

Help organizations define the right approach.
Then bring the engineering talent to actually build it.

Strong teams.
Strong processes.
Experience in regulated industries.

Because in sectors like healthcare or fintech, software is not just about writing code.

It’s about delivering systems that can be trusted.
