Exploring ideas
at the edges
Where finance meets frontier tech. Threads on AI, quantum, space, markets, and mental models — for the curious, not the credentialed.
What I explore
Four lenses on the world. Each one a rabbit hole I keep going deeper into.
Frontier Tech
AI, quantum computing, and space — clear explainers and experiments. No hype, no hand-waving. Just the parts that matter.
Read on SubstackMoney & Markets
Macro, capital allocation, and risk frameworks through a builder's lens. Mental models for staying default-alive.
Read on SubstackBuilding in Public
Side projects, experiments, and tools shipped in the open. From idea to prototype — showing the messy middle.
Follow on XThinking Tools
Mental models, decision frameworks, and intuition pumps. The reasoning layer underneath everything else I write about.

By day, I work in finance — the kind of work where you learn to think in probabilities, risk, and second-order effects. But my curiosity doesn't stop at markets.
I started Astronomad because the most interesting ideas sit at the edges — where AI rewires workflows, where quantum computing starts shipping real products, where the space economy is quietly becoming a trillion-dollar frontier. I wanted a place to think out loud about all of it, without needing permission from a job title.
Lately, I've been drawn to coaching — helping people navigate complexity, build clarity, and make better decisions. Whether it's career transitions, building on the side, or just learning to think more clearly, that's the thread I keep pulling on.
When the map runs out,
find your bearings.
Coaching is the thread I keep pulling on — helping people think clearer when the terrain gets unfamiliar. Career pivots into frontier tech. Decisions with no obvious right answer. The space between who you are and who you're becoming.
It's a hobby, not a business. I take on a few conversations at a time, when the shape of the problem looks interesting.
Let's connect
Open to conversations about frontier tech, markets, coaching, and building weird things on the side.
