Profile
I’m a builder at heart. I get close to the problem, work with good people, and turn complicated ideas into practical businesses and products. That work has taken me across Europe, the US, Latin America, Africa, and Australia, and into the public sector.
Selected proof
M&A and investment transactions led, supported, or advised across different sides of the table.
Years building and scaling companies through growth, transactions, restructuring, and exits.
Consecutive years Mano Rota was listed in the Michelin Guide.
Published photojournalist. Field work has appeared internationally, including Kumbh Mela coverage for Anadolu Agency.
Creative footnotes. A Top 5 Apple App Store product and three bronze creative awards. Work I’m proud of, but not the whole story.

Open source
A small selection of things I’ve made public for other people to use, adapt, or improve.

SafeMac AV
I think Mac malware scanning should feel both approachable and private. SafeMac AV wraps ClamAV in a native app without subscriptions, telemetry, or cloud uploads.

Family Message Box
I built this for my family: a physical box that turns voice messages into lights and buttons, making staying in touch feel less like another screen.
