I make unique connections across ideas, people, and technologies—synthesizing insights others might miss. As an author, developer, AI researcher, and community builder, I bring together writing, coding, and leadership to create meaningful digital experiences.

As an Idea Engineer, I specialize in resolving stakeholder friction, modernizing legacy systems, and engineering successful business turnarounds. I bridge the gap between creative vision and technical execution to replace outdated frameworks with scalable, high-performance solutions. Today, as Director of Development for a prestigious private school, I lead the modernization of their digital infrastructure from the ground up. I have designed and deployed a custom mobile app for families and staff fully integrated with a comprehensive suite of data management portals for student tracking, inventory logistics, employee records, and institutional events.

I help organizations navigate the frontier of emerging technology and advanced AI systems by applying rigorous theoretical frameworks from evolutionary biology to map, model, and predict the lifespans of digital tools. By evaluating technology through an evo-eco lens, I provide deep-tech startups, R&D labs, and enterprise clients with the macro-level foresight needed to survive volatile market shifts. I specialize in supporting teams to manage complex, high-friction environments to execute business turnarounds and modernize outdated infrastructure.

My proprietary research focuses on diagnosing systemic vulnerabilities before they disrupt operations:

• AI Extinction Risk: Modeling how generative AI applications evolve, specialize, or face sudden evolutionary collapse.
• Niche Collapse Simulators: Forecasting exact systemic outcomes when digital markets hit oversaturation.
• Predictive Fitness Landscapes: Quantifying the adaptive lifespan and long-term viability of specific digital tools.
• Digital Taxonomy: Developing precise structural classification systems to robustly catalog complex digital entities.

• Amazon Rainforest Travel Guide:
  Conceived, authored, and published an internationally released travel guide (1996); built its website from scratch with hand-coded HTML, photography, and design.
