Where precision
meets inquiry

My career has always lived at intersections. Seven years engineering storage and HPC systems at HP taught me to think in terms of throughput, latency, and scale. Fourteen years as architect and CTO for a catastrophic risk hedge fund taught me to model the unmodelable—building custom stochastic frameworks for events that resist prediction.

Now I work at the convergence of machine learning, cryptocurrency systems, and a question that has captivated me for nearly a decade: What is the structure of reflective consciousness, and can we describe it mathematically?

Theory of Sovereign
Reflectivity

What began as mystical insight in 2016 has evolved into a rigorous theoretical framework bridging consciousness studies, neuroscience, and mathematical formalism. TSR proposes that reflective consciousness can be modeled through the interaction of coherence and recursive oscillation, yielding falsifiable predictions about the structure of awareness itself.
