Building & Operating

Projects

Things built for their own sake: a strength training app, a wildlife camera network, and a local AI stack.

Ironmark

iOS · Strength Training

A native iOS workout tracker with no accounts, no ads, and no subscription. One-time purchase, yours for good.

Mt McCaulley Wildlife

Computer Vision · Conservation

A seven-camera network watching a Texas Hill Country spring. Motion-triggered captures are classified by species automatically, building a running census of everything that comes to drink.

Aria

Local Inference · Agents

A private model router that keeps routine AI work on local hardware and escalates to frontier models only when the task actually needs one.

Companies

Two ventures, both currently in stealth: systematic trading and AI-first security.

Seasoned operator and builder with an MBA and a career spanning financial technology and cybersecurity.
