Work
I build systems at the intersection of education, AI, and human agency.
Some scaled. Some failed. All taught me something useful, and inform how I work today.

Things I'm spending my time on.
Permissionless Academy
2024–PresentAI-native learning platform focused on helping people build real skills and income-generating assets.
- Learners build real projects and assets, not certificates or grades.
- Progress is shown through finished work and public proof, not degrees.
- Practice happens by doing, improving, and repeating, with AI feedback.
- Goal is to help learners build recurring financial value, typically in the $3K–$20K/month range.
Schoolze Labs
2024–PresentAn AI-native experimentation layer focused on fundraising, incentives, and system-level tools for education.
- AI-driven fundraising workflows designed to reduce friction and increase participation.
- Experimentation with incentive-aware features for schools and communities.
- Beta testing new tools, including RaiseAI, in real-world environments.
- Operating as a lab to explore where AI can meaningfully shift outcomes without relying on institutional reform.

Past
Earlier systems and roles that shaped how I build.
Schoolze (foundation)
2016–2024Built and scaled a K–12 operations platform used by 600+ schools. The work that shaped how I think about institutions, incentives, and why large systems resist change. Years spent navigating procurement, trust, and risk constraints clarified why bottom-up change stalls inside education systems.
