For as long as I can remember, I’ve been curious about how things work. As a kid, that meant taking apart my grandmother’s computer on her kitchen floor, sketching the planets I saw through a telescope, or peering through a microscope at whatever I could collect from the yard. That same curiosity carried me through science and tech programs from elementary school to college, into an internship at NASA, and on to roles at the CIA, Google, and now Anthropic.
Over time, my focus evolved from simply understanding systems to shaping them — learning how to design strategies, frameworks, and technologies that not only work, but scale. I thrive at the intersection of systems thinking, creative innovation, and problem-solving: seeing both the granular details and the bigger picture, then building structures that enable growth.
At my core, I’m driven not just by solving complex problems, but by contributing something meaningful — work that leaves the world better than I found it.
Architecting Growth
I’ve always been drawn to building systems that remove barriers and unlock new possibilities. That focus drives my latest ventures: platforms designed to make systemic problems easier to solve.
In digital wellness, that’s Awarely: an AI-driven mental performance coach tuned to your body’s signals, helping people proactively recognize stress triggers and course-correct before setbacks take hold.
In cloud security, that’s NYLE: a platform that tackles one of the biggest barriers to entering the U.S. government IT market — federal compliance. NYLE makes it simple for teams to understand, implement, and sustain the requirements needed to achieve FedRAMP and other critical certifications.
Co-Founder & CTO: AWARELY
I co-founded Awarely with my partner after we met in a personal development coaching community. As certified coaches, we saw firsthand how the lack of self-awareness often caused people to react emotionally instead of thoughtfully — leading to unnecessary stress, poor decisions, and missed opportunities.
The challenge is that mental wellness today is almost entirely reactive. People wait until a coaching, counseling, or therapy session to unpack the choices they’ve already made and recover from the consequences. That raised a bigger question for us: why does wearable technology and digital wellness focus almost entirely on physical performance, when mental performance has an even greater impact on outcomes?
That question became the spark for Awarely. We’re building the first AI-driven self-awareness platform that integrates with the wearables people already use, helping people recognize when their mental performance is slipping and course-correct in real time.
As CTO, I’m driving the product vision and technology strategy to make proactive self-awareness scalable and accessible.
Founder & CEO: NYLE
I founded NYLE after more than a decade in cloud security and U.S. public sector compliance, where I saw how federal standards like FedRAMP had become a years-long, million-dollar barrier for most startups. Those obstacles keep innovative teams from even considering the U.S. government IT market.
I started NYLE to change that. It’s the first platform purpose-built to get startups through federal compliance. Think of it as a report card, a tutor, and a translator combined — helping teams understand where they stand, learn what’s missing, and navigate the process step by step. NYLE cuts through jargon and removes the guesswork so startups can reach compliance faster and at a fraction of the cost.
Today, we also provide free resources like a lightweight FedRAMP Moderate gap analysis, plus templates and guides at heynyle.com, helping companies start their compliance journey with confidence.
As CEO, I’m committed to making compliance achievable for every startup that wants to enter and grow in the U.S. public sector IT market.
