The Journey

From 8-Year-Old Coder to The Engine Builder

I absorb chaos and output structure. Here's how 40 years of passion for code evolved into building Business-as-Machine systems—taking manual, service-heavy businesses and architecting the software that automates them.

As an 8-year-old kid, eyes wide with wonder, discovering the magic of coding with GW-BASIC on a university PC my dad brought home from work. With a thick manual by my side and endless curiosity, I dove headfirst into this new world of creation. My mom would bring tea cups that would grow cold and forgotten as I got lost in the thrill of bringing my ideas to life through code.

In the '90s, I built my first packaged software product (a drawing program), then built a DAC sound card from scratch, before Sound Blaster existed. I also created computer newsletters for local stationers.

Always buying ahead of technology, first buying the Archos then the iPod. Overjoyed by the fact you could fit a jukebox in my pocket. My lifelong love for music finally fulfilled.

I've led major global banking projects, steering teams of 60 to build platforms handling $6 billion in transactions, driving digital transformation to unlock bold, innovative systems. As a founder myself, I co-founded rewired.one and grew it to $1M in revenue, so I know firsthand the challenges and opportunities that come with building a business from the ground up.

2023-2025: Returned to coding roots with Solace AI app (React Native) and TrustPoll (Flutter), integrating AI/ML for enterprise solutions. This re-skilling journey has reconnected me with hands-on development while maintaining strategic oversight, creating a unique blend of high-level vision and tactical execution.

But honestly? My favorite part is sitting down with a founder like you, digging into your big idea, and forging a solution that rewires your business. That's where my creativity kicks into high gear, blending bold vision with practical know-how.
