About

Systems thinker.
Builder by trade.

I build infrastructure, products, and organizations that operate at the edge of established categories. My work spans manufacturing operations, media production, platform engineering, and AI-driven data intelligence — often simultaneously.

At Gold Shore Labs, I'm developing a suite of interconnected products: an AI gateway and Proof of Agency layer (Banproof), a sentiment intelligence platform, and tools for human-in-the-loop AI workflows. The common thread is building systems that remain intelligible and auditable as they scale.

Before software, I spent years in industrial and manufacturing contexts — Fabco Industries, print and media production — which shapes how I think about reliability, throughput, and the cost of failure in production systems.

Current focus
Gold Shore Labs — AI infrastructure, data sentiment, human-in-the-loop platforms
Approach
Composable systems. Auditable state. Minimal surface, maximum leverage.
