The story
I have always liked solving problems like puzzles: understand how the pieces fit, find what is slowing things down, and build something that helps. AI gives me a lot of those puzzles. I follow the tools closely, try them in real workflows, and learn by building. Working across businesses has taught me to connect that curiosity to what a team actually needs.
That instinct started early, washing dishes and reselling sneakers, and developed through building research and community tools. The most useful lesson was learning to connect technology to a business outcome: a clearer workflow, a better customer experience, or a new source of revenue.
Markets gave that instinct a sharper foundation. In equity research at a long/short hedge fund, I researched companies, tested investment ideas, and built tools to bring scattered research into one place. I learned to question assumptions and distinguish a persuasive story from evidence.
At a financial communications firm, I helped shape AI strategy, built an internal AI platform and 11 production apps, and trained teams around their real workflows. Adoption reached 61% across a 400-person firm. Shipping mattered, but helping people use the work mattered just as much.
Today I work in AI & Marketing at BrachyClip, a pre-clearance medical device company. I bring the same approach to positioning, investor materials, and operational workflows: learn the constraints, work closely with the team, and make useful improvements.
I want to bring AI strategy, market fluency, and hands-on execution to one team where I can contribute, learn from experienced colleagues, and grow over the long term. I work best when I understand the goal and can take responsibility for a useful piece of it. Outside work, I build apps and games, follow markets, and keep finding new puzzles to work through.
How I work
- Learn how the team already works before changing anything.
- Work with the team on a small working version, then demonstrate the time or effort it saves.
- Train people until they use it. Adoption is the metric, not delivery.

Off the clock
Markets and investing
I still write long-form theses for fun, the same buy-side loop from my equity-research days: build a view, pressure-test it, size it. They range from a Meta bull case to a Constellation Brands valuation, and lately I track how AI infrastructure gets priced.
A musician, first
I grew up playing saxophone and piano. Over time I taught myself to make rap beats and produce house music, and now I DJ for fun. The instruments came first, and everything since has grown out of that.
Film and photography
I shoot on a Sony A7 IV and fly a DJI drone, chasing the intersection of film and photo. What I love is capturing a moment that holds up as both a still and a frame of motion.
Sneakers, the origin story
Where all of this started. I was flipping sneakers at 16 with Ocean Supply, which is where I learned the edge was the signal, not the shoe. I still find the resale market and its lore, from Air Mags to release cycles, genuinely fascinating.
