Over the past decade, I’ve built and scaled companies across product, design, marketing, sales, and operations.

I started with a digital web and app development agency as a sophomore in college, later built a hosting platform, and eventually co-founded and scaled Keyo, a vertically integrated biometric identity company combining hardware, software, and services.

I’ve worked closely with investors, boards, government partners, and cross-functional teams. My experience spans team-building, financial management, hardware and software development, and go-to-market strategy.

I’m analytical, organized, and steady under pressure. I thrive in fast-moving, high-context environments where strategy meets operational rigor.

When I’m not building, I’m reading, learning, and diving into deep into information rabbit holes of physics (my favorite), biotech, and emerging scientific research. I love exploring early-stage hard-tech startups. I’m a techno-optimist and a minimalist by design.

My favorite place to be is outside with my favorite people. At the moment, that place is Starbase, Texas, one of the most surreal places on Earth, and my home.
