I am a digital nomad I travel the world and make my living writing code with novel and creative tactics to capitalize on opportunity. I began my online career at age 12 in AOL 2.0 days I was one of the first people to do email spamming. At age 23 I found an exploit in Google's Image search algorithm, making over $500,000. Since then I have tried to venture into providing a valuable service rather than using cheap marketing tactics. I am an expert level coder especially in regard to web scraping and bypassing security features ( legally of course ), captchas and the like, I am also very familiar with working with large mysql data sets, I created placesdatabases.com by myself. Today i work with a small team of equally talented programmers to maintain and improve the products and services available at Places Databases - the most complete global place database in the worldplacesdatabases.com.

I am a digital nomad, making my living online, I like to travel the world, but just the tropical parts. I lived in Costa Rica for a year, tried the high salary job in San Fransisco for 6 months, but to me life is about adventure, exploration, and excitement.

I play guitar, surf, I train Muay Thai, but my greatest gift and passion in life has been my intellect and my ability to solve problems. I love the challenge.
