Music first, and further than I expected: records that sold 15 million copies. Then code, where the projects were global — software for a hyperloop company, and a video game that pays its composer every time it's played. Now investing, where the whole job is seeing the opportunity before it's obvious.
Act One
I caught the rise of social media and used it to get my music heard. It led to composing for Anthony Hamilton, Leona Lewis, and Big Time Rush on multi‑platinum albums that sold over 15 million copies and earned 3 Grammy nominations.

I wanted more efficiency in my work and a bigger impact on the world. I taught myself to code: software for HyperloopTT, and a blockchain video game built around a new way to pay a composer — automatically, every time it's played. That work sparked collaborations with Cardano's research team.

Act Three
Building in tech exposed me to something bigger — financial markets carrying asymmetries of their own, at a much larger scale. Today I'm an independent trader and private markets investor. I've invested in SpaceX (2018), Ripple Labs (2020), Tether (2024), and Apptronik (2024).
