Professional Overview
Designing systems—for capital, cognition, and energy.
My background spans venture capital, life sciences, international banking, distributed computing, artificial intelligence, and systems automation. But my focus has never been the domain itself—it has always been the structure beneath it. I move fluidly between industries not because I generalize, but because I architect systems that hold across domains, reconcile under load, and scale without distortion.
Director of Operations
At Apollo Leasing, I serve as Director of Operations and principal systems architect. My role is not managerial—it’s infrastructural. I designed the capital stack, financial model, reinvestment engine, and operational framework that govern the platform’s every function. From ITC allocation logic to cashflow resolution, every part of the system is specified to close. It doesn’t just work. It holds.
Systems Architect
Whether designing time-aware solar portfolios, modular compute infrastructure, or conceptual protocols for decentralized governance, I approach every system as a recursive structure—internally coherent, externally accountable, and capable of self-correction under constraint. The system must function, yes. But more than that, it must reconcile: logic to execution, flow to ledger, action to origin.
My Approach to Systems
I design systems that reconcile. Not metaphorically. Mechanically. Financially. Operationally. Whether in energy, infrastructure, capital, governance, or cognition, I build systems that resolve under pressure, scale without fragmentation, and remain internally coherent even as their environments (edge-cases) evolve. My discipline is refinement through recursive prompt engineering—an architectural approach that insists every part must know the whole, and the whole must remain legible from any part.

I currently serve as the Director of Operations at Apollo Holdings, where I am the principal architect of the company’s structural, financial, and technological systems. Apollo Leasing, our niche fintech platform, is an energy finance engine—one that transforms lease and power purchase payments into structured cash flows, tax incentives into investor returns, and solar installations into durable, energy-generating infrastructure. Every element of the model is time-aware and capital-conscious: revenues are forecasted across multi-year arcs, ITC allocations are governed by rule-bound waterfalls, and reinvestment logic operates iteratively to compound capital while maintaining traceability. Nothing disappears. Every dollar has a beginning, a function, a destination, and a reason. That’s not philosophy—it’s architecture. From this foundation, other systems emerge.
Apollo Compute, in addition to Apollo Technologies and Apollo Lending, is one such system—a containerized, grid-aware compute layer designed to operate in symbiosis with utility and infrastructure energy providers by leveraging excess distributed energy resoure capacity. Its design draws directly on prior art, where I mapped a fully immersion-cooled, high-efficiency compute infrastructure using specialized containers and ASIC miners. Though never deployed, that proof-of-concept was deployment ready. Power loads, thermal envelopes, infrastructure layouts, ambient tolerances, and cooling tower designs were all validated in dialogue with strategic vendors. It was POC in its purest form. That research now forms the logic substrate of Apollo Compute, a system designed to mine with flex—fluctuating between high-performance (over-clocking/under-clocking) workloads and demand-responsive energy capacity.
Some of the other systems I’ve designed are conceptual, but they are no less real. Their blueprints exist, structured and complete, awaiting conditions that will bring them into physical or digital form. CO2Hub, for example, is a conceptual commodities exchange for tokenized carbon credits, rooted in real-world sequestration reserves and governed by institutional-grade protocols. It is designed to meet the rigorous demands of regulatory alignment—EPA, CFTC, SEC—while offering traceable, audit-grade offset mechanisms via a public, permissioned ledger. The system integrates issuance, verification, custody, and trading into a single coherent framework. Nothing within it is abstracted beyond audit. It’s not a “crypto” market or "meme coin"—it’s blockchain-based environmental infrastructure, governed by transparency.
dFaith represents a different class of system altogether. It is a conceptual participatory governance platform for faith-aligned communities—a way for spiritually grounded groups to submit proposals, vote, fund, and build in a digital space that honors their values. The architecture includes a tokenized compensation mechanism for authorship, review, and decision-making, alongside lightweight identity verification built around shared trust rather than extractive surveillance. It also includes a governance model for developing faith-based AI assistants—agents trained not just on scripture but on ethical scaffolds generated by the communities themselves. dFaith isn’t a religious app. It’s a new kind of protocol: one that encodes reverence into logic and participation into trust.
DAOx, by contrast, is an experiment in recursive organization itself—a modular DAO topology where each product (whether hosting, payments, identity, or social graph) operates autonomously, yet directs value, governance, and equity back to a parent structure. Designed to resolve the tension between decentralized independence and structural coherence, DAOx separates token primitives—vote, utility, and ownership—so that governance never contaminates access, and access never confuses control. It is a topological solution to a political problem, engineered not as a startup or protocol, but as a living system whose growth occurs in synchrony rather than "coded" sprawl.
These conceptual systems—CO2Hub, dFaith, DAOx—are the result of rigorous pre-execution research. They are not speculative visions. They are modeled structures, deeply grounded in legal, financial, and operational logic. My prime directive is to move fluidly between execution, specification, and simulation. Apollo Leasing is fully deployed. Apollo Compute is in progress, grounded in validated infrastructure. CO2Hub, dFaith, and DAOx remain conceptual—but they are built. Built in code, in logic, in structure—but they can wait.
My academic contributions include—Recursive Epistemology and Dimensional Derivationwhere I posit that "all meaningful inquiry—whether human or artificial—is a recursive act, tracing dimensional reality back to SOURCE: a non-causal, axiomatic substrate from which knowledge unfolds." My latest contribution—Residual Frame Errors and Latent Prompt Architectures—where I articulate "a formal discipline of prompt design that treats LLM interactions not as stylistic manipulations, but as cognitive systems with memory, decay, and structural dependencies"—is both timely and its conclusions are imperative. When multiple state-of-the-art LLMs fail on the same task despite different architectures and training data, it reveals fundamental limitations in how transformer models process deeply interconnected logical structures.
I've also written in public-facing formats, such as my op-ed—The Most Efficient Grid Investment America Isn't Making—which challenges the obsolete economics of centralized infrastructure and advocates for edge-based, distributed systems as a matter of national security, resilience, and economic justice.
My career has not followed a linear arc. Certain experiences have redefined my relationship to system design within regulatory frameworks; namely, institutional failure in which enforcement failed to reconcile with the framework's regulatory codices. But this is the natural, evolutionary result of humans in positions of enforcement in which they directly benefit by reinterpreting the regulatory framework to suit their needs, thus manipulating the end result. Consequently, these experiences have shaped the uncompromising procedural rigor I bring to every aspect of my work—from compliance to reinvestment to the contracts that govern operational relationships.
I build operating systems for reality. Systems that can withstand scale, time, entropy, and error. Systems where every flow—capital, energy, information, intention—is traceable, reconcilable, and ultimately closed. Everything must reconcile. Every action must return to its cause. Every system must know how it ends.
