I studied government and economics at Cornell, then Washington University School of Law on a full scholarship. I took an unconventional path into technology — learning to code, building products, and working where software has to do more than sound impressive. It has to survive operational pressure, business incentives, and real-world friction once a product meets actual customers.
That path pushed me toward systems tied to real economic activity: marketplaces, operational software, trust systems, real estate technology, EV charging infrastructure, and physical-world infrastructure. Over time, I became especially interested in the overlap between property, vehicles, access, safety, logistics, and automation.
That overlap matters more than most people realize.
Real estate is not just leasing, listings, or transactions. It is also parking, mobility, access, customer flow, underutilized land, revenue yield, asset intelligence, charging infrastructure, and the digital layers that will eventually coordinate autonomous movement. A parking lot, airport-adjacent parcel, or venue corridor is not a static piece of land — it becomes a software-defined operating asset.
That thinking shapes the products I've built and founded — including ParkGraph, a parking data and analytics platform, and ChargingNear, an EV charger locator to find EV charging stations near me.
That is where I want to build.
I'm most valuable when a company needs sharper product and technical leadership around AI, operations, monetization, and real-world systems — helping owners and operators use AI to strengthen their business, create efficiencies, and drive greater profits. I think across software architecture, product strategy, infrastructure, trust, legal nuance, and the operational reality of how assets perform.
My background spans startup building, technical execution, digital infrastructure, marketplaces, real estate, parking operations, EV charging, and systems where software has to improve actual outcomes.
Worked in the early Ethereum era, when new digital infrastructure was moving from theory to practical use. It sharpened my interest in architecture, incentives, and how new rails reshape entire markets.
Built and operated around parking, land use, asset monetization, and physical-world workflows. It keeps my thinking grounded in yield, throughput, utilization, access, and whether a system actually improves the economics of the asset.
Real estate technology is often framed too narrowly — listings, CRMs, mortgage tools, property management dashboards. The real opportunity is much larger. It includes the systems that govern how space is accessed, monetized, priced, secured, utilized, charged, and connected to customer behavior in the physical world.
Some of the best opportunities sit where real estate and movement intersect: airports, venues, stadiums, logistics corridors, parking assets, and high-traffic land with underused revenue potential.
The future of real estate technology is not just digital paperwork. It is operational intelligence layered onto physical assets.
I am interested in platforms that help owners and operators:
That is where I think the category is going.
Background shaped by marketplace, infrastructure, and growth-company environments where execution and business-model design mattered.
Published and taught on startups, investing, cybersecurity, hiring, and company-building.
The through-line isn't that I've touched many categories. It's that I gravitate toward businesses where software changes how assets are operated, monetized, and understood.
