What I'm Doing Now

Last updated: October 2026

This is my now page, inspired by Sam Julien. It serves as a snapshot of what I'm focused on at this point in my life.

Current Focus

Most of my time goes to working on Viajo, a Portuguese learning platform I build and run by myself. It's dual purpose. I'm learning Portuguese anyway, and having to teach it keeps me accountable and makes it stick. The other half is professional "show, don't tell", a working demonstration of how I approach business strategy, technical infrastructure and my entire vision of a marketing pipeline. Even if it never lands me a job, it's still a project I'd want to be doing.

Which brings me to the other thing: I'm looking for a full-time role in AI enablement, building AI tools and workflows for a company's teams and teaching people to use them. Marketing automation, lifecycle and marketing operations roles fit too. Either way, I want to work across the whole pipeline (email, lead scoring, reporting, content) rather than owning one channel.

I'm also open to contract work, so if that's what you have, I'd welcome a conversation.

The systems I've built are on my projects page.

Living in Lisbon

I moved from the US to Lisbon in 2022. As a dual citizen, this is a permanent move. I'm happy here.

My wife and I are fully settled. We are focused on learning the language (hence the Viajo project), exploring the country with our dog, and building a life in the city we now call home.

Learning & creating

When I step away from the screen, I try to stay active and creative. My current downtime interests include:

  • Weight lifting - Building a consistent strength training routine.
  • Photography - Living in Europe provides endless inspiration for street and travel photography
  • Travel - I'm fortunate enough that my wife and I get to travel often. We don't take this for granted, but we love every moment.

Stay connected

I share periodic updates on what I'm building via my newsletter. You can also find me on Linkedin for more frequent technical notes.
