CTO and Co-Founder at RTScale AI, building consent provenance infrastructure that makes high-stakes transactions explainable.

Message

At RTScale AI, I’m building consent provenance infrastructure that captures a State of Mind Signature and produces an explainable adjudication report for high-stakes transactions. The platform uses on-device multimodal data and hardware-rooted, cryptographically signed evidence.

At FortunaTerra Technologies, I’m building agentic-first software through Activity-First and ProForma. We’re developing governance and audit trails for agent actions, alongside consistent customer experiences across native mobile apps and the web.

Before co-founding these companies, I worked on platform software strategy and architecture at Dell Technologies, and on streaming media, video codecs, and embedded systems at Spawn Labs, AMD, Ittiam Systems, and Qualcomm. I’m driven by building technology that helps people grow, and by mentoring teams to become leaders themselves.
