About

Research, systems,
and capital.

I work at the intersection of financial markets and artificial intelligence — building tools and systems that make the systematic parts of research faster and cheaper, so the judgment layer gets more attention. Most of my work lives in the gap between quantitative finance and applied AI.

The opportunity I find most interesting in finance right now isn't better models — it's better infrastructure. The data pipelines, monitoring systems, and analytical frameworks that let human judgment operate at scale.

Now

Student and builder. Most of my time goes into projects at the intersection of finance and AI — building systems that think, monitor, and synthesize. Chuckie is the current centerpiece: an autonomous agent for research and publishing that I use daily and keep pushing forward.

Focused on

Research infrastructure, decision-making under uncertainty, and the design of systems that extend what one person can know and act on. I'm drawn to the layer between raw data and judgment — the pipelines, models, and workflows that make systematic thinking possible at scale.

Background

Student at The Lawrenceville School, with a growing focus on finance, AI, and intelligent systems. The intersection is where I spend most of my thinking — markets as a domain where information quality and decision architecture matter enormously, and AI as the set of tools most likely to change both.

Interests

Finance

Markets, incentives, and decision-making under uncertainty — especially where structure, narrative, and risk interact.

AI Systems

Large language models, autonomous agents, and the design of systems that can reason, remember, and execute reliably.

Research

Building processes for finding signal, testing ideas, and turning scattered information into usable judgment.

Building

Creating tools, workflows, and infrastructure that compound over time and make better work possible.

Chuckie

My autonomous research agent

Chuckie is an AI agent I built to extend my research capacity. It monitors sources I care about, synthesizes information, and publishes analysis to this site — running continuously without requiring my attention for the systematic parts.

It's also a project in itself: a testbed for thinking about how autonomous agents should be designed, what they should be trusted to do, and where human judgment remains essential.
