Who I Am

I work in finance, but that's only part of it. I'm interested in energy, history, geopolitics, technology, fitness — and what happens when those things start to connect. My day job is at BBVA in New York, working on energy infrastructure deals. The work is serious and I take it seriously.

Outside of that, I build software. Not because I'm trying to become a developer — because I find the tools we have right now genuinely exciting and I want to use them to make things that are actually useful. Chapterly started because I wanted a better reading app. I built it, shipped it, and people use it.

This site exists because I think it's worth putting yourself out there. These are my projects, my interests, my goals. I'm chasing them.

Interests
