🎓University of Iowa grad, 2025 🐤
📍Dallas, TX
I grew up in rural Illinois working in my parents' ice cream shop, which taught me early what it takes to run a business. I have loved entrepreneurship for as long as I can remember and always wanted businesses of my own. What I love most is putting something into the world through great products and watching it compound. The more it grows, the more you can create jobs, provide for people, and do real good with it.
In college I joined every startup program I could from sophomore year on. I spent two years in the incubator working on different ideas, entered competitions and took classes through JPEC, and was in the BELL most days.
After graduating I moved to Dallas to join ACS, where I started hands on and learned how the hardware, parts, and processes of the business work. That grounding shapes what I build and where I look for efficiency. Today my work focuses on product engineering: deciding what to build, designing it, and writing the code.
ACS · September 2025 – current
Leading product and design. One place to buy ASICs and restock the parts that keep them running. Bringing ~$10M of consigned equipment and the $1M+ in parts we sell each year online, with containers, PDUs, and GPUs next.
ACS Portal
Rebuilding our two internal ERP systems into one. It covers inventory, assets, and shipping, plus every job moving through the warehouse. That gives us clean data on the 150k+ miners we process, less overhead, and KPIs we can manage costs against.
ACS edu
Built an internal training platform synced to Notion SOPs. AI turns each procedure into self-grading tests, so employees recertify whenever an SOP changes and we can see who is current and what each person is qualified to do.
Built the public-facing site for Advanced Crypto Services.
Autodesk Fusion
Use Fusion for mechanical design and 3D modeling. We design a lot of custom parts in house and invest heavily in R&D, from robotics to diagnostic software.
Building things.
Turn uploaded notes or presentations into interactive quizzes. Developed at the University of Iowa Startup Incubator.
Operational command software for Bitcoin mining. It combines live fleet health, power, and pool management with reporting and AI ticketing that detects miners down and opens the ticket itself. Handled ideation, design, and the frontend build, and now lead the next upgrade cycle as we roll out to more sites and the operators running it expand theirs.
Free desktop utility for ASIC discovery, bulk config, and LAN monitoring. Shaped the idea out of the tools we use day to day, then built the frontend.
