Syncropic Inc.

Founder & CEO — Public Benefit Corporation

Every system you depend on today asks for your trust. Trust that your data stays private. Trust that the rules won't change under you. Trust that what you're told is happening is what's actually happening. We've built an entire digital world on handshake promises — and promises break. I started Syncropic because I think trust shouldn't require trusting anyone. It should be something the system itself proves, mathematically, every time. We're building infrastructure where privacy and accountability aren't policies someone writes — they're properties the architecture enforces.

CatchMyVibe

DJ Intelligence Platform

If you've ever built a DJ set, you know the real work isn't mixing — it's selection. You have thousands of tracks, and the knowledge of what fits together lives entirely in your head. You spend more time trying to remember than actually creating. CatchMyVibe externalizes that intuition. Describe the energy you want, and your own library scores itself. The more you use it, the sharper it gets — not from someone else's algorithm, but from yours.

CatchMyTask

Work Management for Humans & AI Agents

Every productivity tool I've used was built for a world where only humans do work. That world is already gone. When an AI agent finishes a task at 3am, where does it report? What picks up next? Who reviews it? I'm building CatchMyTask because this isn't a feature you bolt onto existing tools — it's a rethink of what "team" means when some of your teammates aren't people.

Snowstorm Technologies

Data Scientist — 2022–present

This is where the question started. Working across booking systems, payment providers, and distribution networks, I kept running into the same thing: the actual work was simple, but making systems talk to each other cost more than the work itself. The wiring was always more expensive than the house. That friction — the tax you pay just for coordination — became the question I couldn't let go of. Everything I've built since is some version of an answer.

Closing the Gap Between How We Learn and How We're Taught

Every teacher knows their students learn differently. The research proves personalized learning works. But it's complex and expensive — so most students never get it. I built a recommendation system that maps what a student doesn't know and surfaces exactly the materials that fill that gap. The technology to make great tutoring universally accessible already exists. The question is whether we'll use it.

You're a Tenant in Your Own Digital Life

We solved computation. We solved communication. But we never built the third pillar — governance. The structural guarantee that what systems do with your data, your work, your identity is correct, authorized, and accountable. Until that layer exists, you don't own your digital life. You're renting it.

A Letter

Bungoma to Nairobi to Johannesburg to Squamish to Vancouver — each move stripped away assumptions I didn't know I had. This is the longer story: what each place taught me, the questions I keep coming back to, what music and building have in common, and what I'm still learning.
