Head of Global AI, SkillUp · Managing Partner & CTO, The ALICE Group

I build intelligent systems at the intersection of technology and human potential. As Head of Global AI at SkillUp, I lead the design of state-of-the-art agentic learning systems — AI that adapts to how people actually learn and helps them grow faster. Alongside this, I serve as Managing Partner and CTO of The ALICE Group, where I drive innovation in AI-driven financial technologies.

My path into technology started early: I built my first computer at 14 and was creating websites at 16 during the dot-com boom. That early curiosity became a career spanning AI and machine learning, blockchain, and distributed systems, along with founding and operating businesses across several industries. In my late twenties I spent six years living and working throughout Central and South America — an experience that shaped how I think about building things that serve real people.

Areas of focus:

Agentic AI & machine learning — autonomous systems, adaptive learning, and applied intelligence Financial technology — AI-driven platforms and decision systems Blockchain & distributed systems — secure, resilient network architectures Human-centered technology — platforms designed to foster meaningful connection

I'm also the author of No Absolutes, a book on navigating uncertainty and complexity. Whether in my work or my writing, I'm drawn to the same question: how can technology amplify what people are capable of?

I'm always glad to connect with others working on AI and machine learning, applied blockchain, or the broader question of how we build technology that genuinely serves people.
