ARCHITECT · AI EDUCATOR
Hi, I'm Marco. I'm on a mission to give everyone that "aha" moment with AI.

Imagine its 2030, Nelson becomes a leading AI incubation hotspot in New Zealand.
Known for its own designated AI hub, an inclusive frontier community for the AI optimists and the curious alike, where ideas turn into real businesses and lessons learnt turn into real results. No one left behind, everybody lifted. Old and new businesses grow, talent stays, and Nelson leads again.
Built on people first.
(01) About
Architecture to AI.
Auckland to Nelson.
An architect who spent 12 years turning complex ideas into simple stories now i want to do the same with AI and help others
CURRENTLY
Moving home to Nelson, learning fast in AI, and building small, useful tools that make ideas feel real sooner.
Life outside the screen
Tennis, hikes, good people, and family first. The real reason we're moving home is simple: my daughter growing up with her grandparents and the outdoors close by.
Architecture trained the craft
12 years taught me how to simplify complexity, build trust, and get a room of competing agendas moving behind one clear idea.
Self tought
My spare time goes into courses, experiments, making mistakes, and prototypes, chasing the buzz of turning an idea into something real.

ECOMMERCE SKINCARE AI BRAIN
Solm
Solm is a skincare company started with myself and 3 other co-founders. I built a brand AI brain named Zendaya. It keeps everything about the brand, products, suppliers and finances in one place. From there it reviews all copy, drafts supplier emails and creative briefs, summarises meetings, and runs the daily reports and stock alerts, so four founders stay consistent and move fast.
