Building at the Edge of Finance

Research, analysis, and ventures at the intersection of traditional banking and digital assets.

I Build Businesses.
Not Just Pitch Decks.

I'm a fintech founder and venture architect with 20+ years at the intersection of traditional banking, payments, and emerging digital asset infrastructure. My work spans community banking, DeFi protocol design, stablecoin infrastructure, and AI-driven financial systems.

My approach is operational, not theoretical. I've built the business models, the regulatory frameworks, and the product architectures — not just the decks that describe them. If you're building in the space where TradFi meets DeFi, I understand the friction on both sides of that wall.

Currently available for advisory board seats, fractional CTO/CPO engagements, and strategic consulting retainers in fintech, crypto/Web3, and AI.
