Serrano

God's servant. Venezuelan. Engineer. Builder. Survivor.

Igrew up in Venezuela watching communism slowly erase everything — opportunity, dignity, hope. Coming to America wasn't a dream. It was a necessity.

Since I was a child I've watched Huntington's disease move through my family. My mother's side. My grandmother's relatives. It doesn't just take lives — it takes the person before it takes the life. That wound shaped everything. Stillness taught me that suffering doesn't need to be escaped — it needs to be understood.

Surviving a gene and a sociopolitical struggle was not luck. It is a calling.

01Philosophy & Mission

I am a stoic. Not as a style — as a survival mechanism. When you grow up watching a country collapse and a disease move through your family, you either break or you build a philosophy that holds.

Duty over recognition. Action over words. Service as the only logical response to suffering. These are not ideas I read about. They are conclusions I arrived at the hard way.

The book that articulated what I had already lived: Stillness Is the Key by Ryan Holiday.

02The Missions

Before business. Before career. These are the reasons.

FAAND Foundation

A nonprofit building free AI tools for neurodivergent minds — grounded in neuroscience, delivered through clinicians. Because neurodivergent cognition is not broken. It is a different architecture. And the world is finally being built to meet it.

Bibliko

A guided study of the Hebrew and Greek beneath the English Bible. Not to replace Scripture — to read it closer. One word at a time, returning to the source.

03Entrepreneur

I build things. Some will work. All of them matter.

Acelera

Founder. AI has changed what's possible for businesses — better marketing, smarter operations, faster service. None of it requires a Fortune 500 budget anymore. Acelera shows businesses, especially the small ones built by people like us, exactly how to move.

Adventure Tires

Co-founder. A car repair shop built on one radical idea — that mechanics can be trusted. 4.9 stars. Over 1,200 organic reviews. In an industry where reputation is everything and trust is rare, we built both from scratch.

Daboba Florida

Master Franchisee of Florida. A concept brought from Asia to America — connecting the bold, forward palate of Eastern tea culture to a new generation of American consumers.

04Professional

Precision is not a skill. It is a standard.

Mechanical Engineer

B.S. Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Specialty — University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, 2016.

Precision Instrumentation & Calibration

Two years in industrial calibration of measurement instruments. Trained in Switzerland by Trimos, one of the world's leading metrology companies. Applied that precision at Fowler, a Boston-based instrumentation firm focused on manufacturing and quality control.

Gas Safety & Calibration Technician

Field calibration across pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and water and waste industries — from routine sites to Kennedy Space Center. Later certified by Dräger, the German company behind some of the world's most trusted gas detection and safety equipment. Serving industries where the margin for error is zero.

05The Trader

Ad astra. Always.

I follow yields. I watch bonds. I understand how macro moves markets before markets know it themselves. But if you catch me on a Tuesday morning it's probably because something on r/wallstreetbets has my attention. Diamond hands. High conviction. No apologies.

To the moon was never just a meme. It was always a mindset.

06The Consumer

The best businesses are built by people who actually pay attention.

I spent four years as a Yelp Elite member — not as a hobby, but as a lens. Reviewing hundreds of businesses taught me something most owners never learn from the inside: why people trust you, why they don't, and what makes them tell others. Consumer behavior is not a mystery. It is a pattern. And I have been studying it one review at a time.

What people say about your business when you're not in the room — that's the only review that matters.

Engineer. Trader. Franchisee. Founder. Builder. Reviewer. Survivor. Venezuelan. Neurodivergent advocate. Bible scholar. Mechanic's champion. Space center contractor. WSB diamond hand.

A lot of things. Maybe too many.

But before any of it — and after all of it — I am just a small servant of God. A spec of sand trying to move in the direction of His plan. Nothing I have built belongs to me. Nothing I have survived was by my own strength. I am here to be useful. That is enough.

If something here resonates — about a venture, a mission, or simply the work — I would be glad to hear from you.
