Venture Architect

Exploring trustworthy AI & Web3 👾 Entrepreneur // Investor // Digital Trust Activist

To this day, I’ve built 20+ tech ventures, driven by curiosity and a passion for turning my ideas into reality.

It all started when I was just a kid, building computers with my dad and figuring out how technology could solve problems.

At 17, I launched my first startup and learned early on what it takes to build, adapt, and keep moving forward.

Since then, I’ve worked across industries, like mobility, fintech, cyber security, and more—constantly challenging myself to find better ways to create value.

Today, I lead **DECAID Group,** a community-based company group at the forefront of generative AI innovation.

I’ve always believed AI would completely reshape how we work, and DECAID is set to guide companies through that transformation.

Thus we’ve created 3 specialized portfolio companies to support our customers in every step of their AI transformation journey:

→ DECAID Academy

Role-specific training to prepare teams for AI. Includes self-paced courses, weekly masterclasses, and practical tools.

→ DECAID Studio

A 21-day program designed to integrate AI into daily workflows. Teams learn by doing, with tasks tailored to their roles.

→ DECAID Elements

For companies ready to go deeper, Elements delivers custom-built AI workflows and automation tools.

In short, my goal is simple: AI is disrupting every industry, and I’m here to help my partners end up on the winning side of that transformation.

And when I’m not building companies, I’m focused on progress. Whether it’s experimenting with biohacking, geeking out on history, or keeping up with my ****marvelous wife and two daughters (the real CEO’s of my life), I’m always looking for ways to improve and grow.

If you’re ready to explore how AI can reshape your business—or just want to exchange ideas about what’s possible—let’s connect.
