I work on many things at first, then double down on the most promising projects. I try to meet people that do the same or similar. I love talking to specialists but have the most fun with avid general learners.

I fervently believe in depth and breadth of knowledge. I spend many months diving deep into topics before moving on. I'm currently investigating integrated photonics and media conglomerates. I regularly attend guest lectures by incredible people and on active areas of research at the big universities in Boston. My deep dives are often inspired by lectures I've attended. I'm confused why more people don't take advantage of local universities. Especially in the Boston area. This practice is free and highly impactful. Morris Chang spoke for an hour standing five feet in front of me at MIT 🤯.

Momentary guiding principle for myself: software and cs, in general, is very over saturated. High-level software has become commoditized. ML is getting there. Study the fundamentals, applied math and physics, then build up from there. Anyone can learn and build anything with a strong enough foundation. Most value is captured in the unclaimed land between subject areas.

Most impactful book: Beginning of Infinity by David Deutsch.
Public figure that inspires the most: Vannevar Bush.
Main Pods: Acquired, Founders, All-In (the last is mostly for entertainment purposes).

Note: I'm intentionally signaling very hard on this page. No frills, just straight signal. If you're building big things or trying to get involved in a project, reach out. Also, sorry for the ugly website. I hate building websites.

New Computing Paradigms


Integrated Photonics


We are inventing and commercializing in the new computing paradigm. Analog computing is magnitudes more efficient than digital for math heavy tasks. Light is more efficient than electricity. Integrated photonics is in it's infancy. It's potential is massive.


Engineering Intelligence in Wet Neural Nets (aka real brain tissue)


An R&D effort to reverse engineer information storage and processing in biological neural networks while attempting to design the first explicitely programmable artificial-biological computing platform.

The Middle Seat


We tour the streets of New York carrying a couch. We always leave the middle seat open for strangers. Guests are ~almost~ always very interesting. Convos posted on all platforms.

Oh, and we're expanding... news coming out soon.

Investor and Advisor


I invest in public and private equities and advise a few startups. Reach out if you're working on something interesting. I don't care if it's built or if there's a market for it yet. I'm also a statistics consultant for a few young biotech companies.

Crawl Technologies


Marketplace and business intelligence products for the nightlife industry.

Brought the MVP to market, saw revenue, iterated, pivoted, relaunched, saw revenue, iterated, pivoted, relaunched. The market we were ultimately able to attract with a differentiated (key!) product implied that the TAM wasn't large enough to justify continued investment.

EEG Mental Activity Classifier and Analyzer


See the paper for details.

FYI, the writeup represents the very first version of this project.

Connecting


If you build things, think deeply about complex systems, like inventing and inventions for inventions' sake, and want to get involved in a project or just grab coffee, reach out.
