I align advanced engineering with executive vision, ensuring what we build actually drives value.
Architecting systems. Empowering teams. Driving strategy.
I work where engineering, product, and the business meet: leading the build, owning the business case, and keeping all three talking about the same thing.
Member of Technical Staff, Groundswell
Leading the build from zero to one: AI architecture, hands-on implementation, and the standards the company builds against. Aligning technical decisions and executive business strategy.
Alfred
A personal agent that runs my mornings, holds my open loops, and argues with me when I'm about to make a bad decision. Where I test ideas before I bring them to anyone's budget.
Your AI Guide
Short-form video and writing that explains AI to people who don't work in it. Same translation problem as the boardroom, with a harder audience and no slide deck.
Agentic AI, cleared federal environments
Cleared to Top Secret, up from Secret. Architect and deploy agentic AI systems for zero-trust, high-compliance, air-gapped environments: secure on-prem model deployment, least-privilege by default, and no external API to lean on when something breaks.
Founder, CEO & CTO, Big Tech AI
Founded alone and grew the team past 50 while managing architecture, hiring, and roadmap, scaling to dozens of enterprise clients. Owned the case for every major technical bet in front of the board for four years.
A zero-to-one build that has to survive an air-gapped network, a personal agent that keeps telling me my ideas are bad, and a slow argument with myself about how much of this to explain in public.
I've invested my own money since 2011 (over fifteen years now) and most of what I know about finance came from doing it, not reading about it. Some of that comes back to anyone who asks.
If you need a straight answer on your money, your career, or the decision you keep circling, I consult on all three. If I can't help, I'll tell you for free.
I answer everything that isn't a pitch.
