I train professionals who know how to build, not just learn.
Professor and mentor in technology, innovation, and project management. I work with universities, companies, and communities to turn knowledge into real execution.
Hands-on from week one
I don't teach theory to memorize. I work with a practical approach where students build, present, and execute from the very first week.
My classes and mentorships are designed to:
- Translate technology into real business decisions
- Prepare students for today's work environments, not idealized ones
- Develop critical thinking, not tool dependency
- Integrate AI as a productivity tool, not a replacement
“Project-ize your life” — a concept I apply with students and professionals so every idea becomes an executable project.

"Education cannot keep training professionals for a world that no longer exists. My job is to close that gap."
