Developer, investor, and author: I wear several hats, but have one single obsession — understanding how the systems that govern us work, whether financial, psychological, or relational.
My work is to deconstruct these complex mechanisms and make them simple, actionable, and useful. The goal is never theory for theory's sake: it's about giving everyone back control of their life, their money, and their relationships.
It's rare to find someone who talks about finance, psychology and web development with such clarity. His content helped me take back control over several areas of my life.
The Academy
Short modules, one mechanism at a time, no jargon and no promise of returns. We explain how things work; what you do with it is yours.
The pillars read in order, but nothing forces it: each module explains one mechanism and stands on its own.
Writing
4 books in progress — finance, psychology, relationships and fiction. Second half 2026.
