Brooklyn, NY — AI Systems · Finance · Operations
I build production AI systems and have shipped them in real businesses. Over nine months I designed and built a 255 GB multi-agent data platform — semantic search across 8M+ chunks, adaptive memory with feedback-driven learning, and human-in-the-loop orchestration — processing 1.79M documents daily. Before that, I managed a $200M investment portfolio, led due diligence on $100M+ in PE fund commitments, and passed the CFA Level I (top quartile, all sections). I've spent the last eight years running a company I acquired and grew through two acquisitions, managing cross-functional teams of 30+ across editorial, sales, and technology.
