Based in San Francisco, he has co-founded multiple companies—most recently Hayek Capital and Hyperstition Research—where he combines founding-engineer grit with strategic investing in protocol and product innovation. His background blends rigorous mathematics and applied research from Harvey Mudd with hands-on full-stack engineering and data-science experience, including fraud modeling and ML-driven edtech.
