The work I care about sits in AI, healthcare, and business, but I'll follow a problem into whatever it actually needs — the physics, the cognitive science, or just taking the thing apart to see how it really works. I reason from first principles, make deep bets when I'm convinced of something, and change my mind without much fuss when the evidence turns.
These days that's two things: building software with AI agents — around eighteen apps since December, idea to shipped in days — and helping companies work out what AI actually means for their business, and how to get a step ahead while the ground is still moving.
Toronto. Engineer by training. Father.
A growing part of my work is helping companies work out what AI actually means for them — the practical version, not the hype. Most leaders I talk to feel some version of the same thing: the technology is moving faster than they can keep up with, and they're quietly worried about being left behind. It's a fair worry. The pace is real, and staying in the race is hard enough before you even think about getting ahead.
I help them cut through it — find the places AI genuinely fits, get clear on what's worth doing now versus what can wait, and lay out a path that puts them a step ahead instead of a step behind.
Work with me through Gallevin →I've stopped pretending the goal is to be right early. The goal is to think clearly from first principles, make a real bet when the thinking holds up, and stay honest enough to fold when it doesn't. A few of those bets worked out — AI in healthcare with Bridge7, a heritage building in Hamilton that everyone else had written off, biomedical knowledge graphs at META before the term was in use. Others didn't, and that's part of the deal.
What I'm convinced of right now: the teams that win the next decade are the ones putting AI into the core of how they work, early — and most are further behind than they think.

Co-Founder & CEO · 2017–2020
Revived a Hamilton powerhouse: an iconic 7-story heritage landmark transformed into 70,000 sq ft of Class A office space including a 10,000 sq ft event venue. $15M restoration. National Trust award. Cornerstone of the city's East End revival.
Founder & GP · 2017–2021
Built the AI platform that mapped 67M+ biomedical research interests — helping scientists find collaborators and undiscovered connections across literature. Team grew from 0 to 20+. CZI's first acquisition.
VP Product · 2012–2015
Pioneered AI/ML models that detect emotional distress in digital content to protect children online. Instrumental in closing the Horizon Ventures seed round; led operations through acquisition.
Lead Product · 2015–2017
The same way internet traffic 1000x'd when computers started talking to computers, code volume is about to 1000x as AI writes code. That code needs to live somewhere. Cloudflare is positioning to be the edge layer where AI code deploys, runs, and serves.
