About

I’ve spent the last 15+ years in IT, building and managing enterprise systems in logistics and operations. Before that, I served as a U.S. Marine in combat — an experience that taught me resilience, adaptability, and the value of strong teams. Now I’m channeling both skill sets into Startvest.ai, a gamified investing education platform designed to make financial literacy accessible, supportive, and engaging for everyone. I believe in breaking down barriers — whether in tech, investing, or life — and building communities where people can learn, grow, and win together.

ChatGPT App Submitted + Microsoft Partner Status

Exciting update! We just submitted IdeaLift to the ChatGPT app directory - capture ideas conversationally, get structured specs, and commit directly to GitHub/Jira/Linear. Also just became an official Microsoft Partner.

After watching countless great ideas get lost in Slack, I built a tool that captures them.

How it works:

Someone shares an idea in Slack/Discord

Team reacts with an emoji ( )

AI extracts, summarizes, and creates a GitHub/Linear issue

LeadLift - Capture ideas from chat without context switching

IdeaLift is the first tool that captures ideas with a simple emoji reaction—no forms or copy-pasting. React with 🚁 in Slack/Discord and our AI extracts the content, summarizes it, checks for duplicates, and creates a GitHub/Linear issue automatically. Unlike traditional tools, we preserve the full discussion context and work across Slack, Discord, Teams, Zapier, and Chrome. We don't replace your backlog—we make it effortless to fill it with great ideas that would otherwise get lost in chat.
