Life is short, and that's my ethos. The harder and more outlandish an idea sounds, the more it pulls me in.

I've resold streetwear, put 10,000 hours into four instruments, taught myself to trade, dived with sharks, and chased a cheese wheel down a cliff. I'm drawn to edges, whether cultural, technical or physical.

I started out as an audio engineer at 14, self-taught, producing and engineering records that were signed across multiple labels, Universal Music among them, and went on to reach millions of streams. Music was my first proof that technology is a creative weapon, where taste and emotion have to survive contact with systems and precision. I've chased that same pattern ever since, leading the commercial team at a devtools startup, then working on the investment team at Seraphim, the world's first listed spacetech fund. Different frontiers, same species of person. Ambitious builders, extreme uncertainty, and an obsession with making things that shouldn't quite be possible yet.

That mix of volatility, conviction, and entrepreneurial drive led me to venture. Today I lead Systemiq Capital's thesis and investments in Advanced Computing, partnering with founders across the stack from wafer to rack, and I've led our investments in Mixx, Claros, and [Unannounced]. I'm drawn to the technologies that reshape how the physical and digital worlds interact, because that frontier has always felt like home. Where digital meets analogue.

On weekends, I'm usually nerding out about the boundaries of compute, space, and, always, music.
