Founder and CTO

I'm a CTO and founder with nearly two decades of experience driving growth and transformation through technology. At Stronghold Investment Management, I led the development of a systematic real asset trading platform and modernized everything from Salesforce strategy to custom cloud-native infrastructure. My background spans commercial real estate, e-commerce, and private markets — always focused on delivering innovation, velocity, and meaningful business outcomes. I hold a PhD in Theoretical & Computational Biophysics and was recognized as a Google Developer Expert in Cloud. I build high-trust, high-output teams. I’ve rebuilt broken cultures, hired top-tier engineers, and helped early-stage and PE-backed companies scale with confidence. System modernization is my specialty — not just upgrading software, but aligning teams and infrastructure with what the business actually needs. Currently, I lead client engagements through Heavy Chain Engineering and am building Newroots.ai, an AI-driven relocation advisory platform.
