My friends say I have an unusual relationship with risk. They're probably right.
I secure Block's cloud infrastructure, but that's just my day job. By night, I research AI, invest, and create online. Off the Internet, you'll find me in the mountains alpine climbing, ice climbing, or ski mountaineering.
For six years, I lived nomadically, everything I owned in my car. Now Seattle is home base, but the road still calls.
Risk is the thread that connects my worlds. In cybersecurity, I balance defense against business velocity. In finance, I seek upside while guarding against collapse. In the mountains, every decision is a calculation of risk versus reward. They're all faces of the same challenge: finding the edge of possibility without stepping over it.
I invest. I create online. I research independently. But mostly, I explore – whether that's new technologies, mountain routes, or ideas.
Feel free to send me a DM if any of this resonates
