Daniel has served as Treasurer of the Miami Yacht Club since 2024 and is currently in his third term — a tenure that reflects both the trust the membership places in him and the consistency of what he's delivered in the role.

His focus has been straightforward: steady revenue growth, lower operational expenses, stronger capital reserves, and financial structures built to support where the club is going — not just where it's been. The work isn't glamorous, but it compounds. The club's financial position today is meaningfully stronger than when he stepped in.
A significant part of that forward-looking work ties directly to the club's redevelopment — expansions, renovations, and improvements that will define the next chapter of an institution with over 100 years of history. Daniel has been central to that effort, contributing not just on the financial and projections side, but also on the branding, presentation, and messaging that helped make the case for a new long-term city lease — a deal that secures the club's home for decades to come. That was a team effort across board members and officers, and Daniel was a consistent presence throughout.
The broader mission running underneath all of it is growth — building the financial foundation that allows the Miami Yacht Club to expand its membership, improve its facilities, and continue serving Miami's maritime community at a level worthy of its legacy. -

Since joining he has worked with over 30 entrepreneurs, bringing his experience across technology, product development, fundraising, and operations to founders who are at the hard part — past the idea stage, in the work of actually scaling.
The mentoring is hands-on. Daniel draws on 25 years of building companies across AI, robotics, decentralized infrastructure, and enterprise software to help entrepreneurs diagnose real problems, not just theoretical ones. Whether it's tightening a product strategy, stress-testing an operational model, navigating a fundraise, or building the organizational foundation a growing company actually needs — he works through it with them directly.
Being asked to join Endeavor Miami is itself a reflection of track record. The network is selective about who it brings in as mentors, and the founders it supports are equally vetted. It's an environment built around people who have done it, helping people who are doing it. -

Daniel served as Secretary of the Miami Yacht Club from March 2023 to March 2024 — his first term on the board, and the role through which he first got his hands on the full scope of how the club operated.

He came in and did what he tends to do — found where things could work better and got to work on them. On the administrative side, he improved general member communications and engagement, bringing more structure and consistency to how the club connected with its membership through public relations initiatives that strengthened the club's voice and presence.
Where Daniel added a dimension most Secretaries don't bring was on the technical side. His background in software, hardware, networking, and electrical systems gave him a practical lens on the club's infrastructure that translated directly into improvements — and a longer-term vision for where automation could reduce friction and cost for the club going forward.
This was also the period when the city lease effort first came into focus. Daniel got involved early — contributing to the branding, messaging, mission, vision, and core values work that would become the foundation of the case made to the city. That groundwork, laid during his time as Secretary, carried forward through his subsequent terms as Treasurer and into the negotiations that ultimately secured the club's long-term future. -

Moonlighter is a hands-on place. Members build real things using industrial-grade equipment — Makerbot and Formlabs resin 3D printers, a 90-watt laser cutter, CNC mill, and a range of personal manufacturing tools that most people never get access to outside of a professional setting. Daniel's role has been to bring his background in computer science, AI, and robotics to bear on how members use these tools — helping them push projects further than they would on their own.
Beyond the technical side, he has played an active role in the organization's growth. He helped secure significant donations and was part of the process that established Moonlighter's current Lincoln Road location — giving the community a permanent, visible home for the work it does.
His involvement extends to the educational programs Moonlighter runs — after-school activities, camps, workshops, and field trips — all designed to give people of all ages real skills in design, engineering, and digital fabrication. These aren't passive learning experiences. They're the kind of programs that put tools in people's hands and show them what they're capable of building.
Daniel also participates in Maker Faire Miami annually, using the event as an opportunity to bring the maker movement to a wider audience and demonstrate what community-driven innovation actually looks like in practice.

ATLAS — Agentic Financial Intelligence Platform
- Present
Project Atlas reimagines how a financial data company operates at its core. The model replaces a traditional workforce of ~1,300 employees and ~$195M in labor costs with a unified intelligence platform — thousands of AI agents working alongside fewer than 50 human experts, at a total operating cost of approximately $20–25M. The result is a ~90% reduction in comparable workforce cost, profit margins approaching 70%+, and a platform that evolves from data analytics into the operating…

Most organizations talk about AI agents. This is the infrastructure that actually runs them — at scale, continuously, and at a cost structure that makes the economics undeniable. Designed and architected for clusters hosting thousands of agents simultaneously, this infrastructure delivers sovereignty, predictability, and cost efficiency that traditional teams cannot match — often paying back the investment within months. The architecture underpins a broader workforce model: agents handle repeatable, bounded work at a fraction of human labor cost, while small expert teams provide judgment, oversight, and direction. The result is an operating model that scales from hundreds of agents to orders of magnitude more without proportional cost growth.
