Nuclear reactors
to neural
networks.
I have spent a career mastering progressively complex, high-stakes systems: nuclear propulsion, then global payments, now generative AI and agentic systems architecture.
One ecosystem, four bonds.
Peppi Labs is the studio: rapid prototyping, full-stack builds and AI architecture, on a two-week sprint that ends in a ship-or-pass decision. The same team then turned that method on itself. Peppi.ai is a personal AI companion that works entirely over SMS, no app. AskPeppi gives a local business an assistant that answers customers around the clock. PeppiPay is spending infrastructure for AI agents, with real-time policy autonomous enforcement and a human in the loop when needed.
Seamless Scheduling & Memory
Your always-on, SMS-based AI companion for effortless scheduling, reminders, and context recall. Interact naturally to organize your day without switching apps.
Nine things I built to learn.
These are my personal projects, built, funded and operated by me outside client work. Peppi Labs engagements are separate.
Where a rollback wasn't an option.
Nuclear reactor operations and regulated money movement teach the same discipline: you cannot ship optimism. Every assumption has a failure mode, someone has to own it, and the person who owns it writes it down. AI collapses the time between an idea and a working system, but speed without governance is just a faster way to be wrong. The controls carry over. Oversight, auditability, a human in the loop at the decisions that matter.
Startup advisory & mentorship.
Founders I work with directly on product, payments architecture and the discipline of getting to a decision.
It started with materials science.
As an undergraduate at the University of Florida I published peer-reviewed research in advanced materials science, fully funded by Pratt & Whitney to pioneer next-generation aerospace composites. Systems-level thinking about how things fail has been the through-line ever since.

Why Your AI Agent Needs Its Own Email Address
The universal operating system of modern business is email. Here is why giving your AI agent its own dedicated inbox is...
We have spent the last three years building AI agents capable of reasoning through complex workflows, writing code, and executing tasks across browser interfaces. Yet in enterprise operations, the mo...
