The short version

The traditional path is one career, then up the ranks. My path was more fluid.

What I actually build

Systems that hand time back.

01
Agentic automation workflows
For myself and for small businesses: systems that hand their owners back time and raise their revenue potential.
02
Operations that run themselves
One automated process carries my own Amazon operation end to end: product discovery, purchasing, listing, and pricing.
03
Photography
Ten years behind the lens: three Machine Gun Kelly tours, fashion and event work, Flaunt magazine's party circuit.
