About

I'm a Catholic and an American. I dropped out of high school during my junior year to start a marketing agency, built lead-generation systems with Python, and closed more than $20,000 in consulting revenue at 17.

Now I study finance and management at Georgetown and build Better Apps. The aim is simple: make useful software, tell the truth about what is and is not working, and keep shipping.
