Profile
Systems thinker.
Operator by practice.

I approach business the way a mechanic approaches an engine — find where the flow breaks, fix the constraint, measure the result. My career is built on one discipline: making complex operations perform under pressure, without excuses.

15+ years in hospitality — from front-line operations to co-founding an investment & property management business. I own P&L end-to-end: budgeting, pricing strategy, cash-flow planning, SOPs, vendor management, and service quality control.

Since 2022, I've been a hands-on practitioner in DeFi and digital assets — researching liquidity dynamics, protocol risk, and incentive structures with the same operational rigor I apply to physical businesses. Alongside this, I'm building hands-on experience in AI-assisted automation — prototyping tools for operational workflows using Cursor, Codex, and AI agent frameworks.

I work best where disciplined execution and risk-aware decisions separate performance from noise.
