Momentum is architecture.
I build the rooms where it compounds.

About

I've spent over a decade building and being part of tech ecosystems in Canada and the SF Bay Area: hackathons, hacker houses, community programs. In 2017 I co-founded the San Francisco Augmented Reality and Computer Vision Meetup, one of the early communities around what's now a foundational layer of AI.

But honestly, I've been studying how communities organize since middle school, when I spent five years co-chairing a youth commission. At UCLA, I served in a presidential-appointed role working with hundreds of student organizations, and that's where it became real for me: when values and mission are shared, everything else is just logistics. The communities with energy weren't groups people belonged to. They were groups people identified with.

Today my work is about designing the conditions where builders thrive: the right people, the right programs, the right roles activated at the right time. My background in political science and public affairs (UCLA) and a Master's in integrated design, business & technology (USC) is probably why I think about ecosystems more like infrastructure than events.

In 2026, the Ottawa Business Journal and Ottawa Board of Trade named me to their Forty Under 40, recognizing the builders and leaders shaping the region.
