Researcher and practitioner of real estate, finance, and digital infrastructure. I’ve been in this space since 2020 and tracking digital assets since 2017. I first founded a company focused on tokenized investment syndication, which led me to explore how AI, blockchain, and IoT could bring new levels of transparency, efficiency, and liquidity to real estate. That experience grew into Building, the operating system for real estate finance. Building supports real estate owners and stakeholders with AI that preserves property knowledge, generates actionable insight, and automates critical workflows. The goal is to create the trusted foundation for better decisions today and more efficient real estate markets tomorrow. I’m cross-disciplinary, juggling a wide range of fields: architecture, engineering, construction, operations, urban planning, sustainability, blockchain, artificial intelligence, data science, capital markets, compliance, banking, and policy. Outside of running a startup, I travel the world speaking publicly—keynotes, panels, and roundtables—while collaborating with startups, institutions, and government officials. My work advocates for RWA tokenization, data standards, and smarter cities. Improving the built environment and all its dependencies is a challenging but rewarding pursuit. I also host Code & Concrete, a podcast exploring real estate, technology, and the systems that hold cities together.
