    About
    Achievements

    I've been building businesses since 2017, scaling up and shooting higher each time. Recently finished winding down my latest project, 101, which was a crypto ed-tech startup. We raised 2.2M to change the world of credentialing. We helped over half a million people earn 1 million on-chain credentials for completing courses on our platform.

    In my free time, I was a core contributor open-source AI project called "GPTeam" - a mulit-agent AI simulation. I personally wrote about a third of the code for that project. (https://github.com/101dotxyz/GPTeam)

    I also built a side-project called "Mini-Mem" - which uses OpenAI's API to offer a next-generation web bookmarking tool. It's live and has active users today: https://minimem.ai
    The project is built with Nextjs, Postgres (supabase), Clerk auth, and Playwright for web scraping.

    Now I'm hacking on a "Universal AI Scraper" that can do anything on the internet. Coming soon as a paid API.

    Q&A
    What's the most useful business-related book you've ever read?

    The Four Hour Work Week. It seemed like a click-bait book to me, but it was exactly what I needed. I was doubting a lot of my priorities, but after hearing the stories of others like myself, I felt emboldened to continue with entrepreneurialism.

    What's your favorite non-business book?

    My favorite non-business book is probably a Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy. It was hilarious and I instantly was compelled to read the rest of the series. It's a classic.

    If money were not an issue, what would you be doing right now?

    Traveling around the world, pursuing whatever I happened to be interested in at the time. Things I would try out: playing guitar/singing in a band, acting on stage, directing a film, joining a dance crew, and starting a music festival.

    What's your super power?

    For some reason, I have an amazing capacity for physical energy that outpaces pretty much everyone I've ever met. It's a blessing and a curse.

    What aspects of your work are you most passionate about?

    Making a positive impact, no matter how small, on many many people.

    What's something you wish you had done years earlier?

    Started a business - gotten my feet wet.
