About Me

From the lab bench
to the blockchain.

I graduated from UC Berkeley with honors in Molecular Cell Biology. From there I spent three years in translational cancer research at UCSF, then moved through biotech R&D roles at Tizona Therapeutics and Nektar Therapeutics before landing at Kite Pharma (Gilead Sciences). At Kite, I drove data analysis across four to five concurrent CAR T-cell therapy programs: processing samples, running flow cytometry, building the analyses, and creating the presentations that went to directors, VPs, and audiences of 150+ scientists. My work directly informed go/no-go decisions, resource allocation, and study sequencing for therapies targeting multiple forms of cancer.

And then I left science entirely.

I'd been going deep into Bitcoin and digital security on my own time since 2016. What started as curiosity turned into freelance consulting. I managed over $10 million in digital assets for high-net-worth clients, designed multi-signature custody architectures, and built inheritance protocols. Zero security incidents across the entire portfolio.

Today I'm based in Hong Kong. I build automation systems with Claude Code, consult on crypto operations and custody architecture through Fortress21 Ltd., and I'm looking for my next full-time role. The systematic thinking from science never left. I just point it at different problems now.

What I Build

Three things I spend
most of my time on.

Program Operations & Data Analysis

I turn complex, multi-source data into clear narratives that drive decisions. At Gilead, I drove data analysis across four to five concurrent therapy programs. Processing samples, building analyses, and presenting findings that informed go/no-go decisions for executive leadership. The same systematic approach applies to any operation that needs to go from raw data to executive action.

Crypto Operations & Custody

Institutional-grade digital asset security. Multi-signature wallet design, custody protocols, inheritance planning, and $10M+ in managed transactions with zero security incidents. Operational infrastructure, not speculation.

AI-Powered Automation

Claude Code is my primary tool. I used it to build this website from scratch and prototype a retirement financial planner. Before that, I wired together a voice-activated expense tracker using Telegram, ChatGPT, Make.com, and Google Sheets. I'm not a developer. I'm an operator who uses AI to build real things.
