I BUILD
WHAT'S
NEXT.
I turn emerging technology into products people can actually use. My work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, financial technology, Web3, media, and culture.

01 / POSITIONING
Technical depth. Business instinct. Creative range.
My edge is not fitting neatly into one lane. It is seeing the whole system — customer, workflow, technology, business model, and story — and moving from idea to prototype to product.
Over the last decade, I have worked across technology, digital media, entrepreneurship, AI, blockchain, streaming, and creative production. That range lets me connect product strategy with hands-on execution. I am especially interested in AI product, agentic systems, fintech infrastructure, evaluation, and emerging interfaces.

06 / N9NE NOTES
Ideas I keep returning to.
Why payroll should stream.
What red teaming teaches you about building better AI products.
The creator should own the stream.
Stablecoins are not the product. Programmable money is.
Agentic payments will change software.
Artists are becoming software companies.
LET'S BUILD SOMETHING THAT SHOULD EXIST.
I am interested in ambitious teams and collaborations across AI product, agentic systems, fintech, Web3, evaluation, and creative technology.
