About Me
I advise in two industries where transformation is inevitable,
but missteps are costly.
In dual-use sectors — defense, aerospace, and infrastructure-adjacent tech — I support founders and leadership teams through policy-aware strategy, AI integration, and structural planning under regulatory constraint.
In creative legacy businesses — including fashion studios, analog DJs, and cultural practitioners — I help founders digitize workflows, adapt business models, and design web infrastructure that reflects the logic of their work.
My approach is structural, long-term, and grounded in constraint.
No branding theater. No trend-chasing. Just systems that hold.
