About Me

Very few people know the real me. Most are familiar with a small subset of my skillset. For work and places like LinkedIn, I usually talk about Software Engineering and my software companies. What most people don’t know is that I have also spent many years in various fields. Building up my skillset in silence. Some of those skills are: Finance: I’ve traded everything you could imagine. Forex, crypto, futures, futures-options, futures-crypto, commodities, stocks, bonds, options, and more. I’ve also developed algorithmic trading systems, expert advisors, and more. Social skills: Public speaking, psychology, social media influencing, and the psychology behind what works and what doesn’t, and more. Theoretical astrophysics: specifically, the origin of the universe, from beginning to end Mathematics, mainly for use in other fields like CS and Finance. I write my own functions for use in my trading strategies. Writing: I’ve written nearly 700K words this past year, and all of it is private. From my own market psychology framework, business SOPs, insights, lessons, and more. Music: I’ve written songs, produced tracks, enjoy DJing, mixing and mastering, and publish music to popular platforms. Videography: My father specialized in video production and has taught me a great deal about this. I’ve published a few viral videos on YouTube and have a list of videos spanning back to 2007. I even made videos teaching others how to solve a Rubik’s Cube when I was 10 years old. Other interests include: Culinary Arts, Engineering (Civil, Electronics, Mechanical), Propulsion/Rockets/Theoretical Propulsion and engine designs, Cryptography, Art (drawing, sketching), 3D design (CAD, Models/Animation), and so much more. I’ve spent the vast majority of my life consuming as much knowledge as possible from everything I could get my hands on. In the near future, I aspire to obtain my pilot’s license, work in real estate, establish my own brokerage, and pursue additional opportunities. If you know me, I don’t stop. I speed up, keep moving, and do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to achieve my goals. I lost money for 5 years before having my “aha” moment in finance, worked for free for 4 years on startups that later failed, failed hundreds of projects, and so much more. The knowledge I learned by doing that was priceless. ...
