I grew up between multiple cities — which probably explains why I think about systems and identity the way I do. I'm based in New York now.
I run a company called Cloaked, which works on digital privacy and identity. We raised $375M and are expanding from consumer into enterprise. But this site isn't really about that — it's where I think out loud.
I'm drawn to understanding how things actually work, as opposed to how we assume they work. Economics, incentive structures, systems that fail in interesting ways, the politics underneath technology. I write about it when I have something worth saying.
Outside of work I'm usually reading (economics, history, whatever rabbit hole I'm in that week), cooking badly, or going on long walks where I talk myself through some problem I can't let go of. I watch too much Formula 1 and have strong opinions about coffee.
If you want to talk about any of the stuff I write about — or something completely different — I'm easy to reach.
