HELLO! so glad you made it!

i am a founder, engineer, and researcher, currently living in NYC. i am 27 years old, and frequently spotted with an enormous fluffy bernedoodle named alan turing.

i grew up as a military brat. i moved at least every two years as a child, mostly around the American Southeast, Northern Virginia, Belgium, and Okinawa, Japan. i am a proud Cajun (laissez les bon temps rouler!) and a very proud American.

i am the second-time founder of a VC-backed company called supplyco with my wonderful cofounder Jannik. we are building tools for industrial capital goods sales and go-to-market teams, as a wedge into the market for a much larger long-term play (currently still under wraps).

my previous company was Banyan, a decentralized cloud storage platform. we built a very cool filesystem that provides various cryptographic guarantees about the provenance and privacy of the data inside it. we used it to build a private fileshare that uses the filesystem in the browser or locally. we were going to market with it as an enterprise cloud archival backup offering, but eventually realized that the margins were not venture-scale and that this would be a very long-term play more suited to taking out enormous amounts of debt and building for a decade or longer. additionally, the model of offering cloud services distributed across a marketplace of smaller datacenters is not one that’s destined to compete on price well as the market matures. these three case studies helped me understand why i needed to pivot.

my free-time activities include dance, books, and lots of other hobbies (see my about page).

here are some photos of me in real life:
