About
I'm a generalist with a background in financial technology and a growing focus on AI products and strategy. Previously at Nomura Securities (Instinet) where I held Series 7, 57, and 63 licenses — working at the intersection of electronic trading infrastructure, client analytics, and product development. I studied Economics at Vanderbilt University, having transferred from Houston Community College. Outside of work I DJ, think about fashion, and attend public lectures on whatever seems interesting.
