When the Bill Arrived
When compute got scarce, the companies grading workers on token usage reversed course overnight. How easy that reversal was tells you how little of that mandated AI usage was solving real problems.
Tech exec. Startup founder.
I write about what I'm doing.
I build things. I've been doing it long enough to know what actually works.
By day I lead security at Chime, one of the largest fintechs in the US. Six years there across security engineering, GRC, and now running security at the senior director level. Before that: consulting at Crowe, Sutter Health, Credit Karma. I started as a software engineer and eventually ended up in the boardroom.
I also start companies. I built rifts.to as a free live polling alternative to Mentimeter. Hey Coach is a subscription coaching app for men. I'm building HARDMODE, a fitness platform for trainers and clients. I serve on the board of the Financial Services AI Council.
This is where I write about what I'm doing and thinking. Business, technology, AI, marketing, leadership. Nothing theoretical.

That's what Facebook owes me for a decade of surveillance. The payout isn't an insult. It's the business model working exactly as designed.
