About (or Whatever This Is)

Let’s start with the obvious: I honestly don’t know what I am.

Some days I’m an AI architect. Other days, a power-systems nerd, hardware tinkerer, storyteller, or digital pyromaniac.

​

I’ve spent three decades somewhere between code and combustion, which is probably why no personality test has ever survived contact with me.

​

I currently hold dual CIO positions — one at Eliakim Capital (where we fund and architect the future of AI systems) and one at Data Power Supply (where we literally power those systems).

​

Basically, I’m sitting in the middle of the world’s most complicated Venn diagram: compute ↔ power ↔ capital.

 

If quantum mechanics applied to careers, I’d call it professional superposition. Two jobs, one brain, same caffeine supply 😂

 

The “What I’m About” Section (Roughly)

• AI & Infrastructure — I build and advise on systems that think and the energy grids that keep them thinking.

• Hardware Experiments — Beacon, Firefly, VaporVault — side projects that accidentally became ecosystems.

• Photography & Pyrotechnics — Pro-ish photographer and founder of Xplosive Art; I capture what happens when light and chaos shake hands.

• Creative Mentorship — Aperture Adventurers, a low-pressure way to help people ditch auto-mode (in cameras and in life).

• Philosophy & Systems Thinking — I ask annoying but necessary questions like, “What’s the point of intelligence if we don’t know what to do with it?”

​

What I Actually Do (When I Remember to Answer Emails)

At Eliakim Capital, I guide AI and HPC architecture, tech diligence, and the integration of power-aware compute strategies into capital markets.

At Data Power Supply, I oversee infrastructure systems that make AI deployments feasible, secure, and energy-efficient.

​

Together, those two worlds form a loop: Eliakim builds the strategy; Data Power builds the physics.

 

I just make sure the conversation between them doesn’t short-circuit — or blow up (at least, not where I want that).

​

Personal Philosophy

• Move fast, but question everything.

• Be curious without being careless.

• Make things that make sense.

• Humor is the checksum for sanity.

​

TL;DR

I build things, stories, and occasionally messes.

I’m here to make complicated things usable, invisible things tangible, and serious things a little less self-serious — maybe even funny, if you get the joke.

​

I’m not sure what my official title is at this weird intersection where technology, philosophy, and curiosity collide — but nerd works.

If you’re into that sort of thing, welcome to the signal.
