About Me
I'm a CTO and founder with nearly two decades of experience driving growth and transformation through technology. At Stronghold Investment Management, I led the development of a systematic real asset trading platform and modernized everything from Salesforce strategy to custom cloud-native infrastructure. My background spans commercial real estate, e-commerce, and private markets — always focused on delivering innovation, velocity, and meaningful business outcomes. I hold a PhD in Theoretical & Computational Biophysics and was recognized as a Google Developer Expert in Cloud. I build high-trust, high-output teams. I’ve rebuilt broken cultures, hired top-tier engineers, and helped early-stage and PE-backed companies scale with confidence. System modernization is my specialty — not just upgrading software, but aligning teams and infrastructure with what the business actually needs. Currently, I lead client engagements through Heavy Chain Engineering and am building Newroots.ai, an AI-driven relocation advisory platform.

Heavy Chain Engineering builds fast, clean, production-grade software. We specialize in AI-native systems, custom applications, and technical turnaround work. We offer full-cycle, full-stack development across web and backend, with deep experience in real-time systems, agent orchestration, and LLM-powered tools. From idea to first sale, we move quickly and ship. Our AI capabilities include agentic systems, RAG pipelines, transformer integration, human-in-the-loop workflows, and semantic data modeling. We also build high-performance data pipelines, custom scoring engines, and entity resolution frameworks. On the infrastructure side, we design cloud-native architectures using GCP, AWS, or Azure, with support for serverless APIs, job queues, observability, and multi-tenant deployments. We’re fluent in modern toolchains like FastAPI, SQLModel, Celery, Kafka, LangChain, and Pydantic. Beyond engineering, we advise founders, serve as fractional CTOs, and lead product definition when needed. Whether you're starting from scratch, modernizing a legacy platform, or building something that hasn't been done before, we cut through complexity and deliver. If you're looking for a strategic technical partner who builds quickly and thinks clearly—get in touch.
