About

I am a technology executive and investment strategist with a cross-disciplinary background spanning advanced engineering, government-grade infrastructure, and ultra-high-net-worth asset management. Before founding my own company, I served in a key leadership role in Google’s technology division, contributing to two of the company’s most ambitious initiatives—the 2016 self-driving car project and the 2018 smart glasses program. My experience at Google shaped my approach to innovation: disciplined, data-driven, and focused on creating long-term value for society. In 2021, I founded OBE, an IT and government-service solutions company operating across Miami, New York, and Vancouver. Our team delivers secure system upgrades, large-scale infrastructure maintenance, and confidential private services for state and local agencies. We successfully completed a $50 million infrastructure upgrade for the Miami government, reinforcing our reputation for reliability, security, and precision. Today, I also serve as the CTO of LSQ Private Investment Company, a private investment platform catering exclusively to clients with a net worth above $50 million. We work alongside global capital alliances such as BlackRock, Vanguard, and Fidelity to execute institutional-grade gold strategies, macro research, and high-precision market operations. My role focuses on building secure technology architectures, risk-controlled trading systems, and future-forward investment infrastructures for elite family offices. Across all my work, my vision remains consistent: to build technology and financial systems that are resilient, impactful, and aligned with the future. I believe true innovation lies not only in technical breakthroughs, but in creating solutions that enable people, communities, and industries to thrive.
