I work at the intersection of compute, power, and capital. For over three decades, I’ve built and advised on complex technical systems — from digital forensics and cybersecurity to infrastructure architecture and ethical hacking. I’ve served as an expert witness in federal cases, led high-stakes investigations, and designed systems where failure isn’t theoretical.

​

Over the last four years, that focus has intensified around AI, high-performance compute, and the physical infrastructure required to deploy it responsibly and at scale.

​

Some days that means boardrooms and capital markets. Other days it means firmware, hardware prototypes, or tearing apart an idea until it works.

​

Currently, I hold dual CIO roles:

Eliakim Capital — where we architect and fund AI systems.

Data Power Supply — where we design the physical infrastructure that powers those systems.

​

One side builds the strategy. The other builds the physics. My job is to make sure they align — and don’t make fire.

​

What I Do

Applied AI & Infrastructure Strategy
Architecture, technical diligence, and real-world AI deployment.

​

Rapid Prototyping & Live Implementation
Turning ideas into working systems — often in the same conversation.

Hardware & Experimental Builds
Beacon, Firefly, VaporVault — prototypes that became products.

​

Systems Thinking & Advisory
Helping operators identify the constraint that actually matters — and move it.

​

Why I Do It

Technology should expand capability, not just efficiency. We’ve built extraordinary tools. The real question is what we do with them.

I care about clarity, agency, and building things that make sense.

​

Personal Operating Principles

• Move fast, question everything.

• Curiosity without recklessness.

• Complexity is fine. Confusion isn’t.

• Humor is the checksum for sanity.

 

TL;DR

• I design and deploy systems at the edge of AI, infrastructure, and capital.

• I help leaders move from idea to implementation — quickly, cleanly, and without unnecessary drama.

• If you’re building something real, we’ll probably get along.

 

Working With Me

• Most engagements fall into one of three buckets:

• Strategic AI Architecture

• Evaluating, designing, or restructuring AI deployments.

• Rapid Prototyping

• Building and validating ideas live.

• Infrastructure Alignment

• Ensuring power, compute, and capital strategies don’t drift apart.
