About

As an entrepreneur and engineer, I build technology that enables genuine human connection, privacy, and trust at scale. My background spans cybersecurity, encrypted communication, and digital cash, focusing on empowering communities to safely participate in the digital economy. Before entering tech, I was a forensic structural engineer, investigating building failures and helping communities recover from natural disasters. I also partnered with Engineers Without Borders, developing sustainable solutions in underserved regions—experiences that deeply informed my perspective on trust, resilience, and human-centered design. Today, I’m the CEO of Plus None, a social commerce platform designed explicitly around trust and authenticity. Our goal is to create healthier digital communities where commerce and connection thrive organically, without the noise, manipulation, and mistrust common on legacy platforms. I love connecting with others who share a commitment to authenticity, privacy, and the transformative power of trusted communities. Feel free to reach out—let’s build something meaningful together.
