About
Engineer. Creative.Founder.
I make the software and the brand that goes around it. Born out of running an agency, learning to code, and refusing to pick one of the two. Based in Mill Valley, California.
After running a marketing agency, I got tired of tools that didn't talk to each other—chasing file access, digging through Slack for decisions, losing context. That frustration became Astracollab.
In parallel I co-founded The Next Creatives—a San Francisco studio for brand and creative direction—and Clutch Coffee Club with Mikayla Hilario, rooted in car culture and a family coffee-farm story.
I didn't get into tech the usual way. I got there by building things people could actually use — like myresume.guru — writing about it publicly, and taking 250+ rejections before a team said yes. That team was Replo, right after I graduated from Dominican University of California.
