REAL ESTATE BROKER &MORTGAGE ORIGINATOR
For nearly three decades, I have served as a discreet strategic adviser behind the real estate portfolios of Silicon Valley’s founders, executives, and venture capital leaders. My work lives at the intersection of capital, governance, and human judgment, guiding pre-IPO liquidity events, multi-generational wealth transitions, and off-market acquisitions where confidentiality is not a preference, but the strategy itself.My practice is built on a rare convergence of disciplines. As a former market-maker at the Pacific Stock Exchange, I developed an instinct for timing, price discovery, and asymmetry, skills essential when millions hinge on when not to act. My experience in clinical dietetics within San Francisco and Oakland hospitals sharpened something equally critical: diagnostic listening, empathy, patience, and human-centered problem solving. I do not simply analyze markets; I assess people, incentives, and consequences.Formally trained at UC Berkeley and Stanford, my approach is both rigorous and forward-looking. Through Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centered AI, I refined a decision framework that combines advanced market intelligence with human discernment, because in environments saturated with data, judgment is the true differentiator. Algorithms surface information; intuition determines outcomes.Outside traditional finance, I cultivate composure and precision through disciplines that directly translate to high-stakes negotiation: I am a certified yoga instructor, trained in maintaining clarity under pressure, and a music producer, attuned to rhythm, pacing, and timing, elements as decisive in negotiations as they are in composition.This is not just a volume practice. It is a trust practice. Whether advising on a first $5M residential acquisition or structuring a fifth $17M strategic investment, my role is to ensure decisions are both financially sound and personally aligned.I do not simply close transactions. I help shape legacies for clients who value judgment over noise, discretion over publicity, and long-term clarity over short-term wins.Broker Associate at Compass | Mortgage Loan Originator at Loan FactoryCredentials: DRE #01249165 | NMLS #1952782 |

FOUNDER
I’m a founder who learns by building. I don’t wait for perfect conditions or abstract certainty, I ship, watch how real people behave, and iterate quickly.
I’ve independently designed, built, and launched multiple Chrome extensions, including Daily Hip Hop Wisdom, MC Blocka, and Real Estate Sales Quest. Each began as a lightweight experiment to understand motivation, habit formation, and attention in real-world settings. Some scaled better than others, but every project sharpened my instincts around user behavior and product-market friction.
I don’t just learn AI theoretically, I learn it by using it. Alongside Stanford AI coursework, I prompt multiple AI systems every day, asking questions, testing edge cases, and learning where the technology helps and where human judgment still matters. That hands-on experience now drives my current focus: a stealth PropTech company built to solve a problem I’ve watched buyers struggle with for decades, how to cut through hundreds of pages of disclosures and actually understand the risks that matter.
My edge is pattern recognition built over time. I’ve worked across markets, real estate, lending, and now software, which gives me a clear sense of where complexity creates leverage and where it simply creates confusion.
I’m comfortable learning in public, iterating quickly, and making sharp decisions with imperfect information, the same way real businesses are actually built.
CREATOR
I’ve built a YouTube community of over 5,200 subscribers through Club DiPali, where I explore hip-hop culture, jazz, timeless music, and the business systems behind creative industries.
I don’t just talk about music, I’ve made it. Early on, I worked at Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco, learned audio engineering on Pro Tools, and spent years producing and experimenting with sound. That hands-on background now shapes how I think about creative AI and what becomes possible when these tools meet human taste, timing, and intention.
Whether I’m producing a track, shipping a Chrome extension, or structuring a complex real estate transaction, the thread is the same: I learn by building. Each project is a way to understand systems from the inside and turn curiosity into something real, useful, and alive.
