I am a geo-economist operating at the intersection of geopolitics, finance, AI and defense technology.

In my professional work, I help organizations navigate complex security and market environments by grounding strategy in institutional reality. I operationalize practical insight into how power, incentives, and constraints shape outcomes in government, defense, and financial systems.

My work brings institutional realism to strategy: identifying the informal power dynamics, chokepoints, stakeholder incentives, and implementation constraints that determine whether ideas survive contact with governments, markets, and security bureaucracies.

I have held fellowships with the John Quincy Adams Society, where my work articulated a practical framework for bolstering NATO preparedness rooted in economic realism and modular security cooperation. I built early operating experience in defense tech through a Fellowship with Pallas Advisors, where I supported investment diligence, market entry, and positioning strategies for defense and dual-use technology companies looking to grow their sales footprint with DoD and the IC. While in Brussels, I was a European Leadership Fellow with the Jesuit European Social Centre and built relationships across the European Commission, Council of Europe, and European Parliament.

My writing has appeared in The National Interest, EurasiaNet, The Columbia Journal of International Affairs, Responsible Statecraft, The American Conservative, and The Chesterton Review.

I use quantitative and data-driven tools (including Python, Pandas, and SQL) to analyze financial, industrial, and security problems, grounding strategic judgment in empirical reality rather than abstraction.

This site collects selected publications, talks, and current projects.
