I'm a product builder and entrepreneur tinkering at the intersection of technology, payments, user experience, and AI.

I am most proud of my work at Gnosis Pay, where I helped build the first self custodial crypto card, in a vision towards merging traditional finance with blockchain payment rails long before people thought crypto could be used to spend!

I'm currently exploring new models for stablecoin infrastructure that can scale globally, particularly to improve cross-border payments. I've been drawn to AI by its rapid evolution and its potential to solve complex problems, and am building small AI projects to learn deeply about it.

When I'm not building, you'll often find me jamming on my guitar, playing padel, or playing CS:GO.
