the journey

growing up, i saw firsthand the challenges people face when systems fail them.

i always thought: if people had to experience the processes they designed for others, i guarantee their process wouldn’t be the way the are.

i’ve always believed that solutions exist — we just need to think differently to find them. there is always a way and it will work.

philosophy

growing up my father, a first generation cuban american and vietnam veteran, made sure i understood that no one was coming to save me!

so as an autodidact, i’ve built my life around learning—from science to design—to create practical solutions for real problems. my work isn’t just about ideas; it’s about action.  

the quicker i fail, the better it will work.

mission

my mission is simple: to reduce friction in the human experience.

whether it’s poverty, homelessness, or systemic inequality, i’m committed to creating tools and opportunities that empower individuals and communities.
