Building

Outside of PE, I build production AI systems — not demos, not proofs of concept, but autonomous software that makes real decisions and runs unattended.

The largest is an autonomous options trading system spanning SPX, SPY, and BTC. It includes regime detection, a three-layer self-improving ML architecture, and nightly learning loops. 41,000+ lines of code across 120 files. It scans, evaluates, and executes credit spread strategies without human intervention.

I also build prediction market research APIs (MarketPrior), agent infrastructure, and other tools at the intersection of finance and AI.

Community

I co-founded Volunteering Untapped Chicago (2016–2021), connecting young professionals with service opportunities across the city. Since 2018, I've been teaching 8th graders about the stock market through the Big Shoulders Fund — one of my favorite things I do.

I'm also co-founder of CapstoneClinicals, a medical health education startup where I lead strategy and operations.
