Who Am I
I'm an engineer and business professional from Ashburn, Virginia.
Only a few years ago, the highlight of my life was eating my first steak.
Since then, during my pursuit of a hero's life, I've found myself swimming in a freezing lake, zooming along an international motorcycle road trip,
detained under the suspicion of murder, shaking hands with corrupt politicans, jet skiing in Dubai, dining on the KwaZulu-Natal coast, and playing street soccer in the heart of Mexico City.
This is my quest for excellence, truth, and immortality.

During the chaos of the botched American exit from Afghanistan, I investigated the Taliban's "disinformation" campaign using OSINT tools & techniques. Turns out the disinformation was coming from elsewhere... - Global Trading Challenge
I set a record that my university's finance department will never come close to approaching. I left with a $1.29 million balance, as well as the knowledge & confidence to become a great investor. - Ocubloc
I founded Ocubloc, where I worked on commercializing a new IP from Dr. Albert Yee that found nanopillars on a curved surface could prevent the growth of bacteria. - Tutoring
I started helping the smartest kids in school with calculus, but found coaching students of determination basic algebra was much more impactful. My students aced state exam, which they had been failing for years, proving: Anyone can learn anything.
