about
My life by design.
I love building and creating things. Whether it’s through building software, creating content, or making websites. I run the experimentation platforms at Carvana, run a digital agency with my wife, and document our family's borderless lifestyle at Nations Without Borders.
When I'm not shipping code and scheming with AI, I'm hanging with my family, chasing waves, skateboarding, or riding motorcycles through whatever country we're calling home this year.
