Sergeant, student, scientist, founder
Marine Corps sergeant, then computer science and statistics at Columbia, then six years as a data scientist at Meta.
In 2024 I founded Monument Labs, a small studio that spent two years shipping AI products for real workflows and now keeps them running for the people who use them.
Today I work on AI strategy and architecture inside a large enterprise.
I believe in talking to users, rapid iteration, and building software that solves real problems.
