But I didn't start here. I started washing dishes. This page is the whole road — the kitchens, a failed business, the markets — and what each one taught me.

Born April 1994, in Costa Rica. Everything below really happened — the kitchens, the failure, the nights of study. I'm telling it in order, without shortcuts.
My first job, at a small cheese dairy. I was still a minor, so everything was informal. That's where work started for me — early.
Nine months washing dishes, then four months in sales. I saved what I could from every paycheck, without knowing yet what it was for.
I used those savings to open a small screen-printing shop. It lasted less than six months. I was nineteen, with no experience and little schooling. It hurt, and it taught me what losing feels like.
So I went back to the kitchen. Dishes again, then kitchen assistant, then pastry — the same trade my mother and father worked their whole lives.
In my free hours I started studying trading. Nobody taught me and there was no academy — just me after my shifts, learning one piece at a time.
Studying alone · HomeI moved to Guanacaste to work at Barceló Playa Langosta. That's also the year I discovered Bitcoin and crypto. Two doors opened at the same time, and I walked through both.
The Westin Reserva Conchal, Four Seasons, JW Marriott. I was finally studying to be a chef, formally, while working the line. Shifts of 12 to 14 hours, then 4 to 6 more of study. I won't romanticize it — it was exhausting. It also made me who I am.
The brigade
Banquet serviceWhen the pandemic closed the kitchens, El Mangroove, Autograph Collection, turned out to be my last job as a chef. I decided not to wait for the industry to come back: I started Smart Profit Investment — trading and crypto mining for a small private network — with everything those five years of night study had given me.
The first mining rigsThe operation grew: Panama in 2021, Mexico in 2022, Brazil and the UAE in 2023. That last year I also started a property-tokenization company in Costa Rica. Those years moved very fast.
Mexico · 2022
Brazil · 2023End of that cycle.
I spent the first half of the year getting back on my feet. Honestly, just that. The second half I studied AI as if it were my job. Near the end I started building again with a technical partner, but that project didn't make it.
In April I stopped waiting and started engineering a markets platform myself. On May 8, 2026 I rebuilt the agent platform from zero — my code, my hours. Both are running today.
I'm building three AI systems right now. Out of respect for the work, the names stay private until launch.
AI that centralizes fragmented trading into one screen — analysis, execution support and a copilot you operate by voice.
StealthConfigure it, release it, and it keeps working — monitoring, executing and reporting while you live.
StealthA full content factory — scripted, produced, quality-gated and published by pipeline.
Stealth"AI won't replace people. But a person running AI systems will replace entire teams that don't."
A tool waits for you. A system works while you sleep. I only build the second kind.
Every claim verified, every output quality-gated. Trust is the only asset that compounds.
Rented audiences and rented tools disappear. I build owned identity, owned pipelines, owned distribution.
