Travel & leadership
Travel distribution has been my professional home since 1999. I’ve worked across management, technology, operations and international business, and today I am COO at Suites Global in Dubai.

01 / ABOUT
A life between systems and people.
I started with computers and never really stopped. Over the years, technology became a profession, travel became an industry, and people became the part that mattered most.
Since 1999 I have worked in travel distribution and management, building technology, launching businesses and leading teams. My path has crossed software engineering, travel technology, operations, strategy and international business.
Today I work at the intersection of travel, technology and human relationships — while continuing to explore ideas through writing, open-source projects and Aikido.

From code
to travel.
Different disciplines. One recurring theme: making complicated things work.

Technology & software
My first computer was a Commodore VIC-20. From Unix and networking to AI, blockchain and travel platforms, I’ve always been curious about what is happening underneath the interface.

Open source
OPByte is my personal software label. Projects have included grsync, Drivers Widget, OPTasks and other tools — built because solving a problem is often the best reason to write code.

03 / IDEAS
I like ideas
that connect.
Technology, leadership, travel, simplicity, learning and the way people deal with change.
Keep learning and growing till you die.
— A principle, not a slogan.Conflict is inevitable. Combat isn’t.
Aikido taught me that strength does not always mean pushing harder. In business, listening, blending and redirecting can be more powerful than confrontation.

Beyond the
job title.
Work is only one part of the picture. I practice Aikido, travel, write, experiment with technology and enjoy the continuous collision of old ideas with new ones.
