Your Technical Venture Partner
for Zero-to-One
I partner with founders on technically ambitious projects with potential for global impact. From architecture to product to team: I build alongside you, on the cap table, not the invoice.
Embedded Technical Venture Partner
I operate at the intersection of Co-Founder, Chief Architect, and R&D Lead. Not advisory. Not fractional. Fully embedded with founding teams building systems that matter.
Embedded Leadership
I do not advise from the sidelines. I embed with founding teams to architect the initial IP, write the critical-path code, and recruit the founding engineering team. Co-Founder depth, not consultant distance.
- Architect Initial IP
- Critical-Path Code
- Founding Team Recruitment
Systems Where Failure Is Not An Option
I specialize in domains where off-the-shelf AI is insufficient: precision manufacturing, enterprise compliance, geospatial intelligence. Stakes that justify rigorous engineering.
- Mission-Critical Reliability
- Regulatory Compliance
- Real-World Constraints
R&D to Scalable IP
Converting complex research into defensible, investable intellectual property. I architect systems designed for patents, competitive moats, and long-term enterprise value.
- Patent-Ready Architecture
- Competitive Moats
- Enterprise-Grade Systems
Technical Organization Building
Beyond code: building the engineering culture, hiring the founding team, establishing the processes that let organizations scale without losing velocity or accumulating debt.
- Engineering Culture
- Hiring & Onboarding
- Scalable Processes
Where Rigor Meets Frontier Technology
I spent a decade in safety-critical robotics: designing autopilots for unmanned aircraft and managing large-scale autonomous swarms where failure meant hardware destruction and real consequences. That taught me rigor. Today I operate at the cutting edge of AI and cloud architecture: building agentic systems, designing geospatial platforms, and shipping ML pipelines at planetary scale. Most people have one background or the other. The combination is what creates durable value.
Aerospace-Grade Rigor
A decade designing autopilot systems under DO-178C certification. I bring safety-critical aviation standards to Enterprise AI, where AI enhances quality assurance rather than introducing risk.
Physical World Expertise
From neural SLAM algorithms on drones to sensor networks in the Namibian bush. I understand the friction between code and the physical world that most software engineers never encounter.
Complex Systems Architecture
Hybrid Multi-Agent Systems, Physics-Based ML Models, and Geospatial Learning. I build autonomous loops grounded in real-world data and constraints, not LLM wrappers.
Engineering Culture Builder
Scaling organizations that balance rapid experimentation with long-term architectural sanity. I recruit founding teams and build cultures that ship without accumulating debt.
I engage with a select number of companies where failure is not an option.
Systems where off-the-shelf AI is insufficient and where the stakes justify embedded technical leadership.
