Hi! I'm currently chasing convexity through systems managing billions in value at Project 0. Here is a bit of my background, some media, some writing, and answers to questions you might have:
Work
Presently, I'm iterating in a nascent industry with a shrewd team at the intersection of finance & crypto. Previously, I exited a trading firm, sold a healthtech company, got acqui-hired from a hedge fund, & grew other orgs at-scale.

Contact
I get a lot of messages, so here I'll set expectations for those reaching out. If you are contacting me for one of the following reasons, please take a look at my response before doing so.
I enjoy going deep with teams on technical, strategic, and mechanism problems. I prefer founders who are building complementary solutions to things I have enabled. I can't promise feedback, but please do email me your deck or idea!
I will consider the opportunity if it aligns with my interests. I enjoy talks that are formatted to reach new audiences with new ideas. Otherwise, it is usually better if I have a personal relationship with the organizer or if it's a smaller audience of <50 attendees.
I prioritize conversations with those who arenāt in it for the degree. College networks are great, but ā as a dropout ā formal education should be used strategically. I may not have the bandwidth to chat if you are currently enrolled.
I am focused on building mission-critical systems right now, but if you feel like the work youāre doing could be additive, please do reach out.

Sometimes people write about the stuff I work on. Here are a few of those pieces I have remembered to save:
