About me
I'm a self-taught software developer, and the passion came from entrepreneurship. Long before AI made building easy, I had a vision, and I had to learn to code so I could ship it myself.
Financial markets were the first obsession. I started building trading strategies and algorithms that actually made money, which landed me at GR Financial Group. Three years of R&D produced live trading strategies that have generated +$10M for the firm, and kickstarted my journey into algorithmic trading.
From there I fell in love with AI agents, well before “AI agent” was a buzzword. At Dengun I led the AI innovation R&D track, shipping production agents and end-to-end automations before the rest of the market caught on.
Today I'm building a trading system for my prediction market fund, Polytier, which uses forecasting models for weather forecasts, crypto prices and sports outcomes.
Apps, SaaS, trading systems, agents. Whatever the stack, the bar is the same. I ship.
