Why I'm Optimistic About AI
AI isn't a magic bullet or a dystopian threat. It's a powerful tool that, if used wisely, could help us solve some of the biggest problems facing humanity.
Hi, I'm Alec—a Philadelphia native who discovered programming through The Sims and turned that early fascination into a career building companies. I'm the co-founder of MortgageCS, where we've spent 5+ years combining technology with white-glove service to transform mortgage brokerage, and FinancialCS, a platform focused on financial education and wellness to help people achieve financial empowerment.
Started my entrepreneurial journey before 20 with servers and software development, building a CRM for the web hosting industry. I believe the best companies are built by good people solving real problems while having fun. When I'm not coding, collaborating with teams, or working hand-in-hand with our clients and partners, you'll find me playing hockey, cheering on Philly sports, or exploring new countries with my wife, family, and friends. Life's too short not to enjoy it—especially when shared with the people who matter most.
