About me

---

I’ve always been drawn to systems. How people work, how organizations operate, where friction comes from, and how technology can increase human capability.

That curiosity has taken me through the military, startups, product leadership, software, investing, and now AI-native systems.

Today, I spend most of my time exploring practical applications of AI, systems that improve workflows, decision-making, operational clarity, and human leverage in the real world. I’m especially interested in how AI changes the relationship between humans and computers from command-based tools to collaborative systems, and how that reshapes software, businesses, education, and society.

My background includes serving as a Captain in the United States Marine Corps with deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, leading product teams at GoDaddy, building startups, and investing with a focus on long-term technological shifts and infrastructure trends.

Current interests:

• Applied AI for real-world workflows
• AI-native wearables
• Retrieval systems and trustworthy AI
• Systems that increase human leverage
• AI infrastructure and long-term technology shifts

Current hobby

I’ve been working on various AI products over the last few years, so I’d like to better understand how AI works at a fundamental level.

To help, I’m re-learning math and working up to the math for machine learning course with Math Academy, a friend’s startup. See my progress here.
