I've been building things for as long as I can remember.
Secureframe. In 2020, I founded Secureframe, which automates cybersecurity for thousands of organizations, including Nasdaq, Fivetran, and the Kansas City Chiefs.
- A growing part of our work is protecting the U.S. defense industrial base, using AI to help defense contractors secure sensitive information and meet federal cybersecurity standards.
- Secureframe is backed by some of the best investors in Silicon Valley, including Kleiner Perkins, In-Q-Tel, Gradient Ventures (Google's AI fund), Base10 Partners, BoxGroup, and Village Global.
- Secureframe has been named to Forbes' Next Billion-Dollar Startups and Business Insider's Most Promising Startups.
Before Secureframe.
- I started building software in middle school, developing Android apps that reached millions of installs, with several ranking in the top 50.
- I've been lucky enough to work with some of the world's best entrepreneurs at Lob (YC S13), Pilot, and Hired.
- I was an early member of the team at Scale AI, a group that has since gone on to build many of today's most important technology companies.
Investing. I enjoy backing ambitious founders building technologies that have the potential to change the world, often at the earliest stages. Select investments include:
- Bun (Board) — Acquired by Anthropic (2025)
- Cognition — Autonomous software engineering
- Perplexity — AI-powered search
- Ramp — Financial technology
- Saronic — Autonomous maritime defense
- Sky — Acquired by OpenAI (2025)
- Socket — Software supply-chain cybersecurity
Conversations. I talk with leaders in national security and cybersecurity about protecting America's critical systems.
- General Paul M. Nakasone — Four-star general, former Director of the NSA, and member of the OpenAI Board of Directors
- Katie Arrington — Former Chief Information Officer of the Department of Defense
- Bob Costello — Former Chief Information Officer of CISA
- Morgan Adamski — Former Executive Director of U.S. Cyber Command
- Vibhav Altekar — Co-Founder and CTO of Saronic
Interests. These days, I'm spending much of my time thinking about AI, robotics, cybersecurity, and manufacturing.
