I build AI systems and help investors understand them.
By day: Principal Product Consultant at American Express, working on data governance and GL reconciliation at scale.
By night: Building in the AI tooling space. My ralph-claude-code project (autonomous agentic coding loops) has 6k+ stars and taught me more about where AI development is actually heading than any whitepaper.
In a past life: Founder/Co-Founder of Fintech startups. One of the creators of banking pricing optimization technology. Industry analyst at Tower Group (now Gartner), where I spent years telling banks what analytics/ML/AI technology actually mattered and telling vendors what banks actually needed. Author of Seven Billion Banks on personalized banking.
- ralph-claude-code — Autonomous AI development framework with intelligent exit detection, rate limiting, and safety guardrails. The most-starred implementation in the agentic coding space.
- CodeFRAME — Next-gen multi-agent coding environment. AI swarms that plan, build, test, and deploy.
- SprintForge — Project management with Monte Carlo simulations for probabilistic timeline predictions.
I'm also a mathematician (algebraic topology, K-theory), a composer for film and media, and I speak German fluently plus enough Russian, French, and Italian to get into trouble.
I host The 6 to 7 Figures Show podcast and occasionally write about scaling consulting practices.
I do advisory work on AI infrastructure strategy and technical due diligence through BSG (Bria Strategy Group).
