“My path has been anything but linear, defined by a ‘disruptive mindset,’ an unwavering embrace of lifelong learning, and a profound passion for sharing knowledge. My academic foundation began with a BA in Economics, leading to an initial foray into the finance sector. While this provided solid analytical grounding, my entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to not just learn but also to teach and empower others soon steered me towards building something new.

This conviction led me to entrepreneurship in my late twenties. For over a decade, I created, managed, and successfully exited several businesses, including a real estate brokerage and a digital marketing agency. This hands-on experience in the trenches—learning everything from web development and server management to content generation and SEO—was my first deep immersion into the practical power of digital technologies, and also where I began honing my skills in breaking down complex topics for diverse teams.

Around the early 2010s, witnessing the dawn of the digital age, I foresaw the profound shift towards a data-centric world and decided to pivot my career once more. This was a professional change and a personal commitment to understanding, applying, and disseminating knowledge to shape the future. I believe in challenging legacy systems and championing decentralization and community empowerment – principles that resonate deeply with the transformative potential of technologies like AI when applied ethically. My intensive academic pursuits that followed are a testament to this dedication to both learning and teaching. I’m not only studying change; I’m dedicated to architecting pathways for navigating it responsibly and empowering others with the skills to do so.”
