I am a native New Yorker, I speak Spanish, and I taught myself how to code. I have worked in the retail industry, as well as with various startups (both funded and bootstrapped). I began working on MerchantFuse while in business school. I enjoy being an entrepreneur because there are non-stop challenges, and the feeling of accomplishment is awesome when things work.

I have been programming since I was a teenager and studied computer science at Stonybrook University. Towards the end of college I built my first startup, a dating website. After college I went to work as a software engineer at Amplify. I have a passion for all things engineering. I have an obsession with efficiency, and love to spend my free time prototyping electronics, modifying cars and playing soccer.
