I'm CTO and Head of AI at Banetti, where I have worked since 2008. At Armor-Dilloz I handle the technology, science and formulations while Anna runs operations. Through Cyborg & Centaur I take on client projects that cross software, data, AI and design.

I started developing a tire sealant in 2018. Making it work was the first problem. Materials, processing, bottles and operations were the rest.

Miami Boardshop started because South Florida riders needed local service. I owned it until Chris Richardson took over around 2023. It's his shop now, and I have no financial interest in it. I still help when I can, because the need for parts, repairs and good advice didn't go anywhere when the ownership changed.
Repair parts were scarce, and I had the idea of buying complete boards and selling their components. I supplied the concept and seed funding for Witz Wheel; Ryan Hurewitz built and ran the operation for roughly five years. Riders had another place to find the parts they needed.
Anna and I continue to organize Stokebird. We planned the first gathering for roughly 75 to 100 riders and watched 150 free tickets disappear in a few days. She has been the principal organizer alongside me, with family, friends, sponsors and volunteers helping each year.
A web-development job that became technology leadership, a flat tire that became a formulation business, and client problems that refuse to stay in one department.
No business story matches that search.
VoyageMIA's 2021 interview covers my background and how Armor-Dilloz got started.

The early flats, the formulation work and the supply problems, in a question-and-answer profile.
Read the originalA written question-and-answer profile from April 2021, when Armor-Dilloz was still close to its early years. It opens with working alongside my dad and moves through the flats that started the formulation work, testing with friends, the early protection plates, local repair work and the bottle shortages of the COVID period.
It also explains the names: the legal company is Overkill Inc., and Armor-Dilloz is the product and business name. The roles today: I lead technology, science and formulations, and Anna leads operations.
