Hey there, I’m Joseph, a tech aficionado with a habit for pushing boundaries. Whether it’s crypto, AI, or cybersecurity, if it’s at the edge of human potential, I’m probably obsessing over it.

I’m not just about bits and bytes, though. I’ve had the privilege of living in various corners of the world: from the US to Italy, Colombia, Japan, Cambodia, and Thailand. Each place offers a new lens to view life, challenges my beliefs, and introduces me to some mind-bendingly delicious food.

  • Frontier Innovations LLC (USA): On a mission to chart the unexplored realms of innovation – think blockchain and artificial intelligence

  • CryptoLearn.xyz (Thailand / El Salvador): Our mission is to make crypto education easy and fun - if a 5 year-old can't understand it, we're doing something wrong
