I’m a VC-backed founder, currently leading investigative technologies at Intrace as CTO. My work centers on building and scaling platforms focused on OSINT and risk intelligence. Over the years, I’ve tutored students one on one, aiming to make complex topics accessible and relevant. I really enjoy helping people build the confidence they need to win when tackling technical or analytical challenges in high-stake environments.
Earlier on, I focused heavily on low-level systems programming, especially in C, as well as developing cybersecurity tools and building neural networks from scratch, including research into optimal activation functions. These experiences gave me a strong foundation in how software and hardware interact and taught me how to structure effective code to solve real problems. I carry this perspective into my teaching, ensuring students not only learn how to code but also understand the underlying principles that make real systems work and set apart the very best engineers.
I’ve had the opportunity to tutor students at top universities such as Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley, and several other leading schools. Most of my experience has been in one-on-one sessions, supporting both undergraduate and graduate students as they develop skills in areas ranging from computer science to entrepreneurship. Many of the students I’ve worked with have gone on to launch startups and raise venture funding from firms like a16z, Afore, and Sequoia, work in quant, or start their own hedge funds.
