I’m kind of a nerd—but let’s go with “technologist” or “creator” so HR doesn't need to send a memo.

​

Most days, you’ll find me toggling between high-level AI architecture and low-level kernel tweaks—whether I’m optimizing an HPC cluster, advising a startup on digital infrastructure, or sketching out a neural net on a napkin. Currently, I serve as CIO and Chief AI Strategist at Eliakim Capital, where I co-lead a stealth consortium of technologists, capital advisors, and regulatory strategists. Our jam? Building scalable AI systems, deploying next-gen compute like NVIDIA H100s and B200s, and helping the future show up on time—for hyperscalers, defense contractors, AI upstarts, and enterprise giants alike.

​

But it’s not all code and compliance. I’m also into visual storytelling—photography, videography, graphic design, and yes, the occasional meme when the algorithm demands a little levity.

​

Then there’s my not-so-secret passion: fireworks. Since I was a kid, I’ve loved making things go “boom” (safely… mostly). That love turned into Xplosive Art, a blend of high-speed photography and colorful combustion that captures those split-second moments of chaos and beauty. It’s like if MythBusters had an art department.

​

Turns out, showing others how to wield a camera is just as fulfilling as flipping the switch on a GPU. Through Aperture Adventurers, I meet up with aspiring photographers, ditch the auto-mode training wheels, and explore the intersection of light, shadow, and curiosity—one click at a time.

​

At the end of the day, I’m not just geeking out for the fun of it (though let’s be honest, that’s part of it). I’m here to demystify the complex, translate the technical, and make innovation something you can actually use. Whether we’re talking AI, infrastructure, creative tech, or what’s coming next—I build bridges between capital, code, and human connection.
