I'm a veteran, trader, and engineer, based in Bangkok and building a few different things at once. I don't have this figured out in the way a polished bio usually implies — what follows is closer to an honest account of where each piece actually stands right now, not a highlight reel.
Some of it is a decade-plus deep. Some of it started a few months ago. Both are true at the same time, and I'd rather show you that than pretend everything arrived at once.
I've spent more than a decade working in IT, most of it focused on ServiceNow — enterprise platform engineering, workflow automation, and the kind of systems work that's invisible when it's done well. That background shaped how I think: look for the underlying structure before touching anything. A broken workflow is rarely broken where it looks broken — the visible symptom is almost never the actual cause, and you learn to trace backward instead of patching forward.
I'm currently working toward the next level of that career (ServiceNow Architect) while also exploring a few independent SaaS ideas on the side — nothing launched yet, mostly because I apply the same rule to them that I apply to everything else: understand the actual structure of a problem before building on top of it.
It's the same instinct I use everywhere else on this page, just pointed at systems instead of price.
I've been studying markets since 2015. I currently trade as a funded prop firm trader with over $1.3M in funded capital, and I've taken payouts and held funded accounts before. Over the years I built out my own approach to reading price — the DTV Market Delivery Model: Manipulation Acceptance Framework — using concepts like the Structural Manipulation Range and the Manipulation Acceptance Range, alongside a structured way of reviewing my own trades. I've taught others inside my trading group using that same framework.
Trading from a new time zone since moving to Thailand has taken some adjusting — new hours, new routine — but the framework and the track record are the constant. That's a recent, specific adjustment, not a reflection of the work overall.
Day Traders Versus is the education brand growing out of this work. Same read on patterns as the engineering work above — just with real money attached to being wrong.
I've lost count of how many countries I've been to at this point — travel's been part of my life for a long time. A few that actually stuck as places I lived, not just visited: a year in Korea, stretches in Costa Rica, Colombia, Brazil, and South Africa. That's a sample, not the full list — there are plenty more I've passed through along the way. None of those became the one that stuck for good.
Thailand did, after several trips back and forth before I ever moved for real, and it took ruling out a couple of Thai cities first before Bangkok actually clicked. Cost of living, reliability, and how it's felt to actually live here rather than just visit all played a part. Is it the last stop? I don't know — but right now, this is it. Same habit as everything else here: pay attention to what's actually true about a place, not what it looks like on the surface.
I haven't made a documentary yet. I'm learning how — starting with smaller, honest pieces rather than trying to produce something polished right out of the gate. The first one's about the move to Thailand itself: what it's actually been like, not the highlight-reel version. Same instinct, pointed at people this time instead of systems or price. Read it →
