About
I played chess seriously as a kid. That probably explains more about how my brain works than anything on my resume. I see systems everywhere -- in code, in markets, in how organizations make decisions -- and I can't stop pulling them apart to see what's underneath. Most of my free time goes to reading history, following rabbit holes, and trying to find the fundamental truths that make complex things behave the way they do.
The building part came naturally from the thinking part. I've been an engineer at big companies and small ones, co-founded an AI startup, shut it down when the data pointed somewhere more interesting, and started something new. Along the way I taught myself smart contract security and ended up auditing code at 0xMacro -- not because anyone asked me to, but because it was interesting. That's usually how things happen for me.
Right now I'm working on Interlock Labs, which is about helping institutions figure out whether they can actually trust their AI. I write here when something has been stuck in my head long enough that I need to get it out.
