Roman Troyano

Founder. Forever student.

I translate AI, cyber resiliency and Web3 into plain English for people who run things.

About

I build companies with technology as leverage. For more than a decade I've run tech businesses in Las Vegas, and the job that keeps finding me is translation: taking what's happening in AI, security and Web3 and turning it into something the people who run things can act on.

I'm a forever student. I learn in public and teach what I learn, in plain English. Awareness over fear, every time: no hype, no doom, just what it means and what to do next.

Everything here is free: the tools I actually run on, and one email a week on what I'm building.

The Stack

The tools I run my companies on. Start with one, not ten.

  1. Claude(opens in a new tab)

    Thinking partner and builder

    Drafts, plans, writes code and checks the work. The first stop before anything gets built.

    Tip Brief it like a new hire: the goal, who it is for, and what good looks like.

  2. n8n(opens in a new tab)

    Automations

    Connects the apps, so leads, posts and alerts move on their own instead of by copy and paste.

    Tip Automate a task only after you have done it by hand enough times to know every step.

  3. Higgsfield(opens in a new tab)

    Visuals and video

    Generates the avatar scenes and short videos behind the posts.

    Tip Lock one character reference and reuse it, so every post looks like the same person.

  4. Blotato(opens in a new tab)

    Scheduling

    Schedules and publishes posts across platforms from one place.

    Tip Batch a week of posts in one sitting, then get out of the app.
