Experience
2026 – Present
CEO, Founder
SZLabs · Magi Vision product
Grappling footage is difficult to turn into dependable training data. I built reviewer software for grappling annotators and SQL-backed records linking candidate events and review decisions to source footage. I develop detector signals and use error analysis to see where the model fails. The current work is moving from a single-camera setup toward multi-camera recording and 3D reconstruction.

Head of Operations
Morph Labs · AI Infrastructure Startup (Khosla-backed, $5.75M seed)
A seed-stage infrastructure team needed one owner for work spanning compliance, billing, recruiting, and launches. I ran 10+ operational areas, drove SOC 2 Type I through Vanta, managed Stripe billing, and built recruiting and outbound workflows. I also developed reusable Codex skills for research and recruiting and wrote launch copy for Infinibranch products.

REI · Multiple NYC-area Locations
Across the Soho flagship and Huntington Station, I led customer-facing service and technician teams. Process changes helped scale service operations by 40%; a communication repository was adopted across stores, and improvements to service intake contributed to a 10% increase in average transaction value. My REI tenure ended in March 2025.

Magi Vision — Mat-Side Video Analysis
Python · OpenCV · YOLO · Annotation & Evaluation
Built reviewer software for grappling annotators and records that trace detector candidates and review decisions back to footage. Developing detector signals and testing errors on gym recordings. Moving from a single camera toward multi-camera capture and 3D reconstruction; those newer views are still in progress.

LOREMACHINEIRL — Local Content Engine
Python · SQLite · Claude CLI · Kokoro · SDXL · ffmpeg
Built the review-gated pipeline behind LOREMACHINEIRL, a deadpan history-shorts channel. A topic moves through script drafting and human script and image reviews, then local narration, illustrations, motion, captions, and covers become an upload-ready video. A persistent worker, review queue, and analytics connect production runs to published performance.

MTA Widget
C# · WPF · GTFS-RT · MTA Bus Time API
WPF desktop app for real-time 5 Train and BxM10 arrivals via MTA APIs. Smart departure alerts calibrated to walking and cycling times. Schedule-aware with toast notifications.

Real-Time Multiplayer Typing Game + Quail Garden
React · TypeScript · Phaser · Three.js/R3F · Socket.IO · Fastify
Built a browser-based two-player typing game with synchronized room state, cooperative/adversarial word mechanics, and resilient Socket.IO handling for duplicate joins, disconnect cleanup, fallback transport, and typing UX. Expanded the win-state into a persistent quail garden inspired by Tomodachi Life, Chao Garden, Stardew Valley, and Animal Crossing: versioned local saves, daily visitors, Finch's permanent seed shop, bird-shaped lantern fireworks, quail reactions, collectible seed drops, and a zone-focused park camera designed to scale into riverbank and grove areas without sacrificing render stability.

3D Injury Recovery Timeline
React · Three.js · Vercel
Interactive React/Three.js visualization mapping recovery milestones against training readiness. Pain encoded as altitude, time as orbital path, with raycasting interaction.
Private Equity Research Workflow
Multi-Agent Orchestration · Parallel Fan-out
An investment-research pipeline built on a multi-agent orchestrator: research agents fan out in parallel — each running in its own isolated environment — to extract financial data, map the competitive landscape, and draft an investment thesis, then converge into a single structured deep-dive. Turns a multi-day analyst workflow into one orchestrated run.

What I Believe
The mat and the office are the same room
Combat sports taught me jita kyoei: mutual welfare and mutual benefit. In the right culture, everyone gives to each other and everyone grows because of it. A training partner who levels up forces you to level up. A teammate who develops makes the whole unit more capable. I build environments where that exchange is the default, not the exception.
Alignment compounds, misalignment kills
The best techniques fail without timing. The best strategies fail without buy-in. I've learned that getting a team genuinely pointed in the same direction is more valuable than any individual contribution. Everything I build starts with making sure we agree on where we're going.
Never stop being a white belt
Choosing to learn something new is choosing to climb a mountain you can see but haven't touched. I learned shell voicings to hear what makes math rock tick beneath the surface. I study the dilemma in judo and jiu-jitsu, how forcing an opponent to solve two problems at once creates openings, and I watch the same principle play out in negotiations, product positioning, and team dynamics. The hunger to dig into the nuances of unfamiliar terrain is the only edge that doesn't expire.
