Rational,
Mostly.

CEO @ Ovia Systems. Statistician.

Driven by curiosity and a desire to understand how complex systems actually work, from large organizations to human behavior to deep analytics.

  • Ovia Systems is the umbrella company for the technology group I lead. It provides the capital, strategy and infrastructure that powers our three core devisions.

    • Gaimin: Next Generation Game Launcher built to empower the gaming community.

    • Orbon Cloud: Alternative Cloud Solutions built to end the Cloud Tax

    • Gladiators: One of the fastest growing esports organizations in the world.

  • I write to clarify my thinking so I can speak about the things that interest me deeply.

    These are not “blog posts”. They are observations on navigating the complexities of life with a little bit of luck.

  • If a company has great technology but the economic model is broken, I help fix the math. If the strategy is too complex, I help simplify the execution.

    I only engage in roles where I can meaningfully alter the outcome.
