I'm a Forward Deployed AI Engineer at Adobe and an independent AI researcher with a background that doesn't fit neatly into any single lane — audio engineering, ecological restoration, fine woodworking, music production, and machine learning all inform how I build and think.
My work sits at the intersection of applied LLM systems and original framework research. On the enterprise side, I architect and deploy AI solutions at scale. On the research side, I'm developing original mathematical machinery — SEFA (Symbolic Emergence Field Analysis), CMT (Complexity Magnitude Transform), and SRL (Symbolic Resolution Ladder) — and applying them to open problems in dynamical systems and information geometry.
I believe nature is the longest-running engineering testbed in existence. Most of my best ideas came from paying attention to it.
