Who am I

I'm a systems builder with an insatiable appetite to understand how the world works. I write to clarify my thinking, build to test ideas in reality, and operate at the intersection of product, finance, and behavioral science. I'm drawn to leverage — cognitive, financial, and technological — and I care about compounding knowledge over time rather than chasing short-term wins.

What I do

I co-founded Kiroku with close friends, building a platform focused on education, and have raised early capital while leading product direction, strategy, and fundraising conversations. My background in corporate development sharpened how I think about capital allocation, long-term positioning, and execution under constraint — skills I now apply directly in building and scaling systems from zero to one.

My interests

Outside of building, I'm deeply interested in health, frontier technology, and science, and I read widely across disciplines because I don't believe intelligence lives in one domain. I train consistently, think long-term, and approach both life and work with the belief that energy, curiosity, and discipline compound.
