AI, Bitcoin, Operations

San Francisco / Bombay

I'm genuinely drawn to emerging technology — I co-founded Vara Capital, a Bitcoin fund, and have worked with dozens of blue-chip crypto projects across exchange listings, operations, treasury, and governance. I also contribute to open-source AI agent tooling. More recently I've focused on bringing that same rigor to small businesses and independent operators as a fractional COO, building the systems and back-office that let them run properly without a full executive team.

My background spans an MBA, economics, and early career work in structured risk — including asset protection planning and specialized trust development — which still shapes how I think about structure and downside today.

What I do

Specializations

Small Business Consulting & AI Implementation

Fractional COO support for independent businesses and solo practitioners — cleaning up the admin, processes, and systems, building accountability structures, and layering in AI tooling so the business runs with significantly less manual overhead.

Bitcoin Consulting & Asset Management

Helping individuals and businesses hold Bitcoin properly and compliantly — multisig wallet setup, recovery and inheritance planning, and long-term allocation strategy for people who want to do this right, not just buy and hope.

Crypto / Web3 Operations

Account management and operations for crypto-native organizations — coordinating compliance, treasury, and stakeholder relationships across multisig governance and cross-jurisdiction structures.

What I've built

A career-risk tool that gives a straight read on when AI is likely to affect a given job, and what to do about it.

Custom GPTs

Decision Engine ↗

A custom GPT that forces a real decision out of you instead of more options. Tell it what you're choosing between, why you're stuck, and what actually constrains you — money, time, risk, the people involved — and it pushes you to a call.
