Work
Four areas of practice. Each starts the same way: figure out what's actually limiting the situation before trying to fix it.
01
Quantitative Systems
Trading engine design built around signal architecture and convex payoff structures. The work starts with what the market is actually doing, not what participants think it's doing — and building systems around that gap.
This includes multi-layer scan frameworks, options structure analysis, sector decoupling detection, and phase-based ignition models. The Micro Cascade Parabolic Onset framework is one example of this methodology applied to short-duration convex trades.

Example Output
Micro Cascade Scan — Live Market Note
A live scan identifying three names with full triple-channel loading on quarterly options expiration — ADMA Biologics, CRH, and MCHP — using options pressure, order book thinning, and sector decoupling signals in sequence. Published the morning of the T4 window.

Real Estate Intelligence
Feasibility studies, site analysis, PUD structuring, and parcel-level underwriting. The work is designed for developers, landowners, and capital allocators who need a clear read on what a site can support before committing resources.
Analysis covers entitlement risk, infrastructure constraints, density modeling, and financial feasibility. Output is structured for use in lender packages, partnership discussions, or internal go/no-go decisions.

Example Output
Published Feasibility Study
A complete real estate feasibility study covering site constraints, density analysis, infrastructure requirements, and financial modeling — published as an open-access document on Zenodo with a permanent DOI for citation and reference.

Architectural Design
Federal and classical residential design, elevation production, and proportion-driven planning. Drawings are built to near-stamp quality — detailed enough for contractor pricing, permitting conversations, and design development.
Work includes SVG and CAD elevation production, site plan development, and classical proportion systems applied to residential and civic programs.
Engagement Tiers
Example Output
Classical Residential — Elevation & Built Work
Front elevation drawing produced in SVG/CAD format with classical proportion systems and material callouts, alongside built townhome work showing the design carried through to construction.

04
Logistics Optimization
Terminal-level logistics engine design built around friction identification and flow geometry. The work starts with mapping where time and cost are actually being lost — then building systems that recover that margin.
This includes street turn optimization, empty mile reduction, dwell time analysis, and container flow sequencing. The engine identifies recoverable value that standard dispatch and TMS systems leave on the table. Recoverable margin is typically significant and surfaces quickly once the flow map is built.

Example Output
Logistics Optimization Engine
A terminal-level optimization engine mapping container flow, street turn opportunities, and empty mile exposure. Output surfaces recoverable margin that standard dispatch systems do not see — and it typically shows up fast once the flow map is complete.
Methodology
Constraint-First
Every engagement begins with the same question: what is the binding constraint? Not what the client wants to build — what the situation actually allows. That's what makes the work transferable across four different domains.
