Work
That means deciding which questions deserve serious money, what evidence would settle them, and how an idea survives the trip from demonstration to use.
Develop
At DARPA, I turn a technical question into a program: what must become possible, what stands in the way, what evidence would count, and what result would prove we were wrong. The goal is not to fund activity. It is to buy down uncertainty about something that could matter.
Scale
A breakthrough can be real and still go nowhere. Through Wave Function Ventures, I help early-stage companies think through capital, customers, government, evidence, organizational design, and who must say yes. That surrounding system is often harder to build than the technology.
Explain
I write, speak, and build visual models about technology and systems. I am not interested in making hard ideas sound easy. I want to show where the incentives, feedback loops, assumptions, and decision rights actually sit so people can do something about them.
Advisory work
I advise an early-stage venture firm backing hard technologies across aerospace, defense, energy, robotics, and other markets where the science is only the beginning.
