I'm a repeat founder. I like hard problems that pay.
I've started companies, grown them, sold them, and watched what actually breaks when software meets reality.
A lot of my background is in payments—which is basically the perfect training ground if you like:
- Adversarial environments (fraud never sleeps)
- Constraints (banks, processors, underwriting, disputes)
- Operational reality (support, chargebacks, compliance, edge cases)
I'm drawn to unglamorous domains where leverage hides:
- Finance and ops
- Compliance-heavy workflows
- Infrastructure that has to work, not demo
I have a low tolerance for performative innovation and a high tolerance for complexity—as long as it's useful.
What I believe
"AI strategy" without operational constraints is just theater.
Products that can't survive edge cases aren't products.
Boring industries print money because people avoid them.
The best systems reduce human heroics, not require them.
