About

I’m the founder of Guldora, building around a question that drives my work: how much more could people do if intelligence became a lasting part of their lives?

That ambition brought me to China, closer to the hardware, manufacturing, and people turning AI into physical products. Things I once thought were five or ten years away now shape what I’m building this month.

Outside of Guldora, I founded a community for founders to share ideas and find people to build with. I’ll also be teaching how I use AI: what works, what doesn’t, and how to put it to work on your own ideas.

I also have an eyewear brand, Aristello. If you like my glasses, that’s where they’re from.

When I’m not building, I’m somewhere in China with my laptop, explaining rogue AI theories to a stranger who only asked if I wanted a bag.
