Twenty-nine years of building systems that hold.
I started in tech in 1997 and never stopped shipping. I helped launch the original Xbox and Xbox 360, led teams through six AAA game launches, and hold a patent from the Xbox SDK. I've run organizations of 120+ people and budgets north of $12M, in roles from director to co-founder.
The through-line was never a single technology — it was systems thinking. How do you take something fast, messy, and new, and turn it into something a team can depend on? That question took me from console launches to connected hardware (a CES Innovation Award at Kinoo) to a Web3 startup I co-founded, and finally to where the question is most alive today: artificial intelligence.
Since 2022 I've gone deep — not as a researcher training models, but as an implementer making them useful. I built a local LLM stack, a cross-AI memory system, and a personal agent that runs my days. Now, through Velocity Partners, I help organizations do the same: move AI from impressive to dependable.
Everything I do points at one idea: helping people and organizations operate at the intersection ofAI, autonomy, and resilience — more capable, less dependent, standing on their own.
AI as executive function
Using AI to work with an ADHD brain, not against it.
I'm building — and living in — a system that externalizes memory, makes time visible, and reduces the friction between intention and action. Corvus captures and triages; daily briefings surface the one next thing; AI handles the mechanics so attention goes where it matters. It's resilience at the scale of a single mind, and it's becoming a framework I want to teach.
I have an ADHD brain, and for most of my career I compensated with sheer effort. AI changed that. The same implementation skills I bring to organizations — externalize memory, make state visible, reduce friction between intention and action — turn out to be exactly what an ADHD brain needs. It's resilience at the scale of a single mind, and it's becoming a framework I want to teach.
How I work
Systems over heroics
The win isn't a clever demo — it's a process that keeps working after the excitement fades. I design for the day-to-day, not the keynote.
Practice what I preach
I run my own life on the tools I recommend: a local AI stack, a personal agent, a self-hosted everything. I won't sell what I haven't shipped.
Autonomy as the goal
Whether it's an org or a household, the point is to leave people more capable and less dependent — not more locked in.
