Let's talk.
I work with a small number of teams and institutions each year. If you think there's a fit, let's find out.

I help the world's largest financial institutions navigate crypto compliance before the regulatory window closes. At EY, I advise the banks that move markets. Outside of it, I build software and write science fiction.
Based in New York, I work at the intersection of financial crime compliance and emerging technology. At Ernst & Young, I support some of the largest financial institutions in the world on AML programs, crypto compliance, and the regulatory technology built around them — translating complex regulatory requirements into systems that actually hold up in practice.
Outside of EY, I build software. HostHelper started as a problem I wanted solved: short-term rental hosts were managing properties across too many disconnected tools, with no intelligence tying them together. I designed the system I wanted to exist and started building it. ClearChain came from the same instinct — enterprise AML tools cost $50K+ a year and output a risk score with zero explanation. I built the open-source alternative: multi-chain screening (ETH, BTC, Tron, Solana), OFAC checks, 7 typology detections, and AI-generated SAR drafts. JS and Python SDKs published. Launching on ProductHunt May 3rd.
I also write. The Blood Remembers — a science fiction series set 750 years from now. 20+ chapters in.
In 2026, the focus is simple: ship. HostHelper goes to market, ClearChain builds its compliance user base, and a social platform launches that ties the real estate community together. I'm not interested in building for the sake of building — I want products that generate real revenue and solve real problems.
Most STR hosts juggle four to six disconnected tools and still answer guest messages at 2am. No single platform covers guest support, direct booking, revenue tracking, and operations — and Airbnb takes a cut on every reservation.
HostHelper consolidates all of it — AI-powered guest support, a direct booking engine, revenue tracking, and automated operations in one platform. The direct booking layer gives hosts a property-branded web app that takes reservations with zero platform fees.
Enterprise blockchain analytics (Chainalysis, Elliptic, TRM) cost $50K–$100K/year and output a risk score with zero actionable guidance. They tell you a wallet scored 87 — they don't explain why it looks like layering, which FATF typology it maps to, or what you'd write in a SAR. Small compliance teams are left doing that work manually.
ClearChain closes the last mile that enterprise tools deliberately skip. Multi-chain screening across Ethereum, Bitcoin, Tron, and Solana — with OFAC/SDN checks, 6-signal risk scoring (0–100), 7 FATF/FinCEN typology detection, AI-generated compliance narratives, and SAR drafts. Ships a JS SDK (npm install clearchain-sdk) and Python SDK (pip install clearchain). Free, open source, no account required.
The SaaS era gave companies tools. The agentic era gives them workers. AI agents don't just assist workflows — they replace them entirely. The compliance analyst who spent eight hours reviewing transaction alerts. The support team answering the same onboarding question at 2am. The developer writing boilerplate for the fifteenth time. These aren't jobs being augmented. They're being absorbed.
The companies building with this assumption now — not "AI-assisted" but "AI-operated" — are compounding an advantage that won't be catchable in two years. They're not faster. They're structurally different.
Services-as-Software isn't a product category. It's a business model shift. When an AI agent can execute a 20-step compliance workflow end-to-end, the unit economics of that service collapse. The same work costs 10x less to deliver. The firms that internalize this first will reprice their competitors out of existence.
The question isn't whether your industry gets restructured. It's whether you're the one doing the restructuring or the one being restructured. The window to be on the right side of that line is shorter than most people think.
750 years from now, a civilization of eight billion people is running on the architecture of one man's design — and no one knows it. A story about inherited memory, bloodlines, and the weight of someone else's grief.
