Spent two years in restructuring — working with distressed companies through some rough patches. Read a lot of credit agreements. Built a lot of models. Learned how companies actually break.

On the side I've been building AI systems that do the work I used to do manually — research, monitoring, morning briefings. All automated, running overnight on a Mac Mini, in my inbox by the time I wake up.

Looking for early-stage AI companies where finance instincts and builder habits are both useful.
