01 · SOFTWARE

Software

3dcart → Shift4 · 2000–2020

Founder & CEO of 3dcart — one of the web's early all-in-one e-commerce platforms, built and run out of South Florida and acquired by Shift4 Payments (rebranded Shift4Shop).

Today I pour that into a private cloud of ~90 self-hosted tools — trading systems, FPV-drone tooling, media servers, iOS & VR apps — all wired together and powered by local LLMs.

ARCH PASS · ON THE PAD

On the bench right now: real-time market-data streaming, a self-healing project dashboard, options analytics, e-sign & property tooling, and local-LLM services — all self-hosted on my own LAN, backed up nightly off-site.

02 · REAL ESTATE

Real Estate

South Florida

A hands-on real-estate investor across South Florida.

I also build the software that runs it — property-management dashboards, rent tracking, lease automation, and a fully mapped portfolio of rental units.

Those rentals operate publicly as Delivers Realty.

BRIDGE GAP · ON THE PAD

Run end-to-end by my own stack: a mapped portfolio manager, rent dashboards, lease-PDF generation with e-signing, and a tenant maintenance portal with SMS contractor dispatch.

03 · MARKETS

Markets

options & volatility

An active markets investor.

I've built dozens of my own trading & options tools — real-time streaming, options analytics, volatility forecasting, sector rotation and backtesting — to research and trade with my own edge.

One more market I trade: graded Pokémon cards, bought, tracked and resold through Cofre.

CANYON RUN · ON THE PAD

Daily drivers: an SPX gamma-exposure matrix, a next-session volatility forecaster, a 71-scan options screener, sector-rotation alerts, and a backtest lab that replays the live strategy code.

ORIGINS · 7 MILESTONES

My Story

  1. 1990s

    THE LEAP

    My parents left Argentina for South Florida with little more than a bet on a better future. Everything here is built on that courage.

  2. LATE '90s

    INFOMART2000

    At Coral Springs High I didn't get an after-school job — I started a company. Web hosting & design, built for real businesses by a teenager.

  3. FAU

    B.S. COMPUTER SCIENCE

    Florida Atlantic University: formal foundations by day, running Infomart2000 between classes.

  4. 2000

    THE PIVOT

    Every client asked for the same thing: help me sell online. Custom e-commerce builds became a product — and the product became 3dcart.

  5. 2000–2020

    3DCART

    Twenty years as founder & CEO. More than 50,000 businesses powered their stores with 3dcart.

  6. 2020

    THE EXIT

    Shift4 Payments acquired 3dcart and rebranded it Shift4Shop. One chapter closed — the builder era began.

  7. TODAY

    STILL BUILDING

    ~90 self-hosted tools, real estate, markets, FPV drones. You're flying through it.
