Building products.
Exploring ideas.

I build digital products, explore complex systems, and write to better understand what I discover along the way.

Work

Products and initiatives I’m building.

A selection of projects focused on real systems: energy, information, and decisions under constraint.

NearGrid Capital

Infrastructure intelligence to identify where compute can be deployed at scale.

Focused on deliverability: power access, grid capacity, permitting, and cooling. Points to where compute can actually operate.

View project

Orinoco Atlas

Structured intelligence on oil and energy in Venezuela.

Organizes operational data — assets, projects, and actors — into a clear view of the system.

View project

ven.plus

Context infrastructure for operating in Venezuela.

A system that documents what exists, what works, and under what friction, using verified signals and operational context.

Notes

Some ideas don’t begin as products.

They begin as questions.

How I Think

My work moves across people, systems, and information.

I’m interested in understanding how we interact with technology, how we navigate complex systems, and how information can become clearer, more useful, and more actionable.

Human dynamics

How we consume information, make decisions, and interact with technology.

Complex systems

Contexts where context matters as much as data: energy, markets, infrastructure, and operations.

Information infrastructure

Products that organize information, reveal context, and help make difficult systems easier to understand.

Principles

Build to understand

Many projects begin as questions.

Prefer clarity over noise

I’m drawn to products that organize information and reveal context.

Explore where others don’t look

Some of the most interesting ideas live at the edges.

Collaborate with real curiosity

The best conversations often open the door to new projects.

Collaborate

I’m always open to a good conversation.

I’m interested in connecting with people building products, organizing complex systems, or exploring ideas with real intention.

Early-stage digital products
Information platforms
AI applied to products
Serious ideas with clear direction

Contact

Let’s start a conversation.

If you’re building something interesting, organizing a complex system, or exploring an idea with clear direction, let’s talk.

I read everything. I’ll get back to you soon.
