From 8-Bit Beginnings to Artificial Intelligence
I learned BASIC and 6502 as a kid, peeking and poking the Commodore PET and Apple II. In high school I founded a National Honor Society Tutoring group and earned the Rensselaer Medal. I took and aced five AP tests and was accepted into MIT. My thesis, Computer-Aided Improvisation, was advised by AI pioneer Marvin Minsky.
I rotated out of Wall Street into Videogames, shipping titles for Activision, Electronic Arts, Machine Zone, and Zwift. I've built teams and trained new hires. What I still love most is the moment something clicks — when confidence firmly and finally replaces confusion.
My AP CSA students get an enthusiastic mentor who meets them where they are, with language and examples that spark and encourage.
Businesses get a partner who can lead or support, brings both founder and Fortune 50 experience, and has shipped real products under real pressure.
