Work Availability
In the fast-paced and ever-evolving world of today, most of my time is absorbed by my full-time role and the ongoing maintenance of my various brands and side projects. The demand for my skills and expertise often outpaces the time I have available. As a result, it’s with regret that I currently find myself unable to take on any unsolicited projects. However, I understand the challenges of finding the right fit for your needs, and so I’m more than willing to provide referrals to professionals within my network who may be better able to assist you.
What I’m Focused On Right Now
Right now, I’m fully immersed in leading Balnce AI, my latest co-venture that’s redefining the way we interact with decentralized AI technology. Every day is filled with the challenges and excitement of building something transformative while continuing to grow my passions, and working on the restoration of the Motor Yacht Antigua. I’m also fascinated by Aerospace and Space Exploration, which keeps me inspired as I balance the demands of innovation with maintaining a healthier work-life balance. If any of this resonates, I’d love to connect and explore potential opportunities to collaborate!

Where I’m Working
Since June 2024, I’ve been serving as the Principal Engineer and Co-Founder at Balnce AI. In this role, I have the privilege of driving the technical vision and leading the development of our decentralized AI platform. Collaborating with a talented, globally distributed team, we work seamlessly across time zones to innovate solutions that empower users and redefine the possibilities of AI. This experience has sharpened my technical expertise and deepened my skills in leadership, team management, and fostering collaboration in a dynamic, cross-cultural environment.
Where I’m At
San Diego, California, with its stunning landscapes and vibrant culture, has been my home for the past 11 years. Of these, I’ve spent six glorious years living on my 65’ motor yacht, the M/Y Antigua. Nestled in the heart of the beautiful San Diego bay, life on the yacht is an adventure in itself. It’s where I find tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of life, a place that fuels my creativity and serves as a constant source of inspiration.
Recent Travel
My most recent adventure took me to Portugal, where I spent a week soaking in the vibrant culture, stunning scenery, and incredible food. Whether wandering through Lisbon’s historic streets or catching sunsets along the Algarve coast, the trip was nothing short of unforgettable. Travel fuels my curiosity, and while I’m not sure where I’m heading next, I know it’ll be another epic experience.
