Agentic Engineer
I build agentic AI systems that plan, decide, and act on their own. Multi-agent workflows and tools that do the work, not just answer questions.
Generalist · Founder · CEO
Someone with real, working knowledge across many fields. If I can't do it, I know how to.

What that means
Knowledge that goes deep in a lot of places, not wide and shallow in one.
It started when I was a kid. My father worked for Halliburton in Israel, and he would bring me home all kinds of electronics. I took every one of them apart. My parents would get so mad, I could never put them back together, but figuring out how something worked by pulling it apart, that I was good at, and it never left me.
Then came music. I was classically trained in high school, and it gave me an outlet to create and to write. From there I went into running my father's masonry business and grew it from 7 people to 30. Along the way I learned to wire a house and plumb it. Then I switched into marketing, built real skill in advertising, and that pulled me into photography and videography, which became a company of its own.
I earned a real estate license and learned how property actually works, the deal and the sense behind it. I went deep into technology: I can build a computer from the ground up, program it, and find my way around just about anything. If I can't do it, I know how it's done, and I know who to put on it.
For the last stretch I've gone all in on AI. I've built several real apps with it, including language-learning tools and systems that talk to each other and quietly run my businesses. I've done sales for 30 years. I'm not an accountant, but I can keep the books. I know my way around the Adobe suite. I can look at a business and see what's missing or going wrong, fast, and then automate it.
I bridge the gap between deep-domain AI and the real world. In a single meeting I'll jump from one field to another and keep up in all of them. I've mentored and trained a lot of people over the years. What I really do is make complicated things talk to each other, and make people's lives easier.

Patent pending
UACOS is a 9-dimensional authorization engine that re-roots access control on the asset, not the user. Four USPTO provisional patents, validated on a working prototype, now deployed inside my production platform.
What I'm building now
An entrepreneur social media network and business suite: listings, jobs, media delivery, scheduling, invoicing, CRM, and AI operations. Built from the ground up and live in production.
Universal Asset-Centric Operational Security. The patent-pending authorization engine behind the platform. Four provisional patents, benchmarked faster than the open standards.
Top-rated real estate photography and marketing across CT, NY, MA and RI. Founded in 2013, grew from solo operator to a team, helped sell thousands of homes.
A new category and a manifesto about how small businesses and entrepreneurs should build and connect. Early, and one I care a lot about.
A set of scheduled bots that pull market data and post clean, useful signals into a closed community. Small, automated, runs itself. A private build, so there's nothing public to link to.
A language-learning app I built that makes picking up a new language easy through smart repetition. Designed around how people actually remember, so practice becomes a habit instead of a chore.
Also in the workshop: a local AI assistant wired into my whole stack, a mobile app, a property-search tool, and a handful of client sites and experiments. Ask me about any of them.
Let's talk
A problem you can't quite name, a business that feels off, a system that should exist and doesn't. That's my favorite kind of conversation.
