I work at the intersections -- where systems overlap, incentives collide, and trust is thin.Much of my experience comes from moving between worlds that rarely speak the same language: founders and institutions, capital and culture, emerging systems and legacy constraints.I didn’t follow a linear path or inherit early access.I learned how things actually work by entering systems from the side, often under-resourced, and staying long enough to see where theory fails under pressure.That distance traveled shaped how I think: I prioritize trajectory over pedigree, pattern recognition over ideology, and real-world exposure over abstract certainty.
How I work
Today, I focus on designing environments -- for collaborations, research, and ventures -- where outcomes can emerge rather than be forced. When the problem warrants it, I commit deeply and stay with it as a founder, steward, or long-term operator.I’m most useful where complexity is real, incentives are misaligned, and simple narratives break down.I’m not interested in perfect systems on paper. I care about what survives contact with reality -- and what gets stronger because of it.
