Engineer • Builder • Investor • Entrepreneur • Founder

I built my first house at 18. Construction and real estate investing have been part of my life ever since. Even after my engineering degree 10 years later, and working as a structural engineer, I was soon right back to doing what I love — construction and real estate investments. This is a passion of mine, and 100+ investments later, I believe that the best investments start with the best knowledge. This app was once a spreadsheet that I used myself and shared with family and friends, now this version is faster, includes AI analysis for extra clarity, and amazing charts and data — in minutes.

Founder & developer — NestCalc.ai, LLC

Built to Help You Succeed

Every NestCalc.ai product was designed from decades of personal experience in real estate investments, engineering and construction — deep domain expertise behind everything we build, from the CasaWise.ai analysis engine to HomeFastCalc.com and beyond.

NestCalc.ai exists to build software that solves real problems — from professional-grade real estate analysis to custom websites, landing pages, and AI applications. I built this company the way I build everything — with precision, transparency, and a focus on creating both short term and long-term value for you.

What NestCalc.ai Does

My goal is to build software that helps you make the best decisions possible. NestCalc.ai develops AI-powered applications, custom websites, landing pages, AI strategy and consulting — all engineered with the precision of 30+ years in construction, engineering, and real estate investing. Our products, CasaWise.ai and HomeFastCalc.com, show that standard in action: professional-grade analysis tools I trust with my own investments. Knowledge is power — and every NestCalc.ai project is built to put that power in your hands.

What This Means For You

Make your next decision with confidence. When you work with NestCalc.ai — whether you use one of our products, commission a website or landing page, or bring us in for AI strategy — you're working with a company built on real experience: 54 construction projects, private capital management, multiple businesses operated, and hundreds of real estate deals analyzed. We don't build from templates or theory. Everything NestCalc.ai delivers is grounded in three decades of solving real problems.
