My motto is “22nd Century imagination for 21st Century problems'' and I really stand by it. I love leveling up my knowledge base and skill set. I have a blast talking to and meeting new people and get excited when they share my passion for personal financial growth. I look at Sidepocket through the eyes of gamification and see the vast potential it has to become the core of our generation’s wealth management. I knew from a very early age, as an immigrant's son, that it was up to me to create that generational wealth for my family. I truly believe Sidepocket will do just that, and level up my personal finance and investing skills along the way!

I find meaning in the next marginally more difficult task. My mantra: when faced with many options, pick the one that carries the highest potential return, even if it’s the most challenging. Every day, I seek to find opportunities for improvement and growth, especially problems that have yet to be solved and throw everything I have at them. With a master’s degree in computer science, extensive experience trading derivatives, having founded and run a successful start-up, and in the process of obtaining my CFA designation , I feel I’m well suited to be an essential part of Sidepocket’s stand-out financial engineering team. I look forward to using my talents to provide maximum value to Sidepocket’s investors.

I want to change the world positively and meaningfully, embodying my pillars of radical transparency and benevolence. The way I love to disrupt is through systematic and data-driven approaches. With proven successes at growing companies like DCI LLC and Aletha Inc to multi-million dollars in revenue, I am happiest taking ideas to execution - going from 0 to 1 and growing companies to scale.

I spend a lot of time thinking about what the world will look like in 10 years and what role I can play in realizing that future. I'm excited to be leading the charge at Sidepocket on our crusade to bring more transparency to the corrupted wealth management industry. I live by a few simple mantras: only criticize what you're willing to fix yourself; don't follow your passion, bring it with you; do things just because they're hard, there's less competition; and if you encounter analysis paralysis, get more data.

I’m a Dual Explorer: The World and Technology. From the nooks and crannies of the most remote parts of the World to the minute details of a piece of software. I like digging deep. Sometimes, the rabbit holes take me deep into the jungles of Suriname, while other times, researching the best software solution for a problem I’m facing, I read the code to the last line.

Hobbies

Travel, Food and Photography - perhaps not in that particular order - is what I live for.

Interests

I have a passion for automation and will always look for ways to streamline processes and increase efficiency. I never want to perform the same job twice. By automating repetitive and mundane tasks, I free up time and resources for more important and strategic initiatives. I understand that automation can also reduce errors and improve consistency, leading to a more reliable and stable infrastructure.

My specialization is...

Over the last 25 years, I have run infrastructure for startups, multi-billion dollar companies and everything in-between. Supporting millions of customers or hundreds of internal users has always been an interesting problem to solve. I have a deep understanding of the technical and operational aspects of maintaining and scaling these complex systems, as well as the ability to lead teams and manage projects effectively.

If I had one maxim, it would be “Always strive to add value to everything you do.” I started my marketing company because I saw firsthand the underhanded tactics that new business owners, startups, and non-profits were falling victim to, so I set out on a mission to help teach them how to not only grow, but ‘Grow Mighty.’ Give someone a fish; you feed them for a day. Teach them how to fish, and you’ve given them the ability to feed themselves for a lifetime.

Perfect Saturday off is a nice long walk through NYC, a Dungeons and Dragons campaign with food and friends, a Marvel movie in a theater, and then SNL at home with my wife.

I am fascinated by AI and how it is going to change what we do, day-to-day. The next 100 years will be defined by how we integrate these tools into our society and our every day experiences.

My specialization is...

My specialization is in digital strategy, growth hacking, and political communications. I have cut my teeth on projects for Fortune 500 companies and national advocacy campaigns to small businesses and local political campaigns. To me, it is about mastering each tool and understanding how they function in different scenarios, so I can come up with the right strategy for the right time for the right customer
