Featured Writings
- Temporal Compression: Time itself has liquefied. We no longer live in history, looking back at cause and effect; we live in delta-time, the infinitesimal interval between updates where everything changes but nothing settles into meaning.
- The Cognitive Geometry of Movement: What if the mind isn't contained so much as extended? This is the story of an ongoing trial merging high-resolution smart flooring with live EEG recording to observe how spatial environments and human thought co-regulate.
- The Inheritance of Insight: Modern medicine has given us precision at the level of molecules but amnesia at the level of families. Myome's hereditary health artifact is an attempt to restore continuity.

Ongoing Projects
- I designed and built Spaxiom, a language purpose-built for the physical world where coordinates, events, and AI models speak the same syntax. Think of it as air traffic control for sensors, translating noisy data streams into actionable semantic events that AI agents can reason over. Available on PyPI
- I built LitAgora, an interactive social reading platform centered around a dynamic mapping tool that helps readers visually explore connections between characters, ideas, and themes across books, articles, and other media. It provides an engaging way to discover new insights and relationships, turning reading into an interconnected journey of exploration and discussion.
- I'm building Myome, a new kind of health record designed to be inherited. It captures your actual health trajectory over a lifetime (biomarkers, interventions, outcomes) and packages it into a hereditary artifact your children can use to inform their care.
Work
- Founder and CEO of Scanalytics Inc, an award-winning physical AI company that combines the latest advancements in materials and spatial science to help buildings operate smarter. Our latest technology spun out of a US Department of Energy Advanced Research Program and was acquired by East West (a Michael and Susan Dell Foundation company)
- Built eli, an AI application that uses computational linguistics to identify and attenuate mental health deterioration
- Original CTO of Velocity, an indoor cycling software application that uses unique metabolic data and drag coefficient estimations to improve cycling abilities and VO2 max
- Served on various boards including Qokoon (AI fintech), Atmos (spatial science consortium), Myoworks (software for chiropractors), ThreatFront (physical security and defense tech), and the University of Wisconsin's Center for Technology Commercialization
- Mentor portfolio companies of gener8tor, a top 10 globally ranked startup accelerator
- I was an Entrepreneur in Residence at Microsoft
- Served as a Non Commissioned Officer in the United States Marine Corps where I was a Machine Gun Squad Leader
