02 — Portfolio

What I'm building

Two B2B platforms built on decades of domain expertise, a consumer app studio, and a civic venture.

A · B2B platforms

Data intelligence & revenue recovery

GLODA

Live

One platform for international development: jobs, tenders, grants and signals from 59 live sources.

Serves both subscribers and issuers, with source provenance on every record. Now expanding Tenders into full procurement-lifecycle intelligence: upstream pipeline, post-award contract tracking, integrity screening and anti-scam verification. Built for the gap left by the 2025 shutdown of UN Development Business, against incumbents Devex and dgMarket.

41,949 live records · coverage and gaps published openly · as of Nov 2026

D · Civic

Beyond the businesses

Common Ground Compact

Startup

A civic membership coalition for cross-partisan dialogue and participation, focused on how people engage rather than which policies win.

03 — Approach

How I build

01

Domain first

The B2B platforms target markets I've worked in for decades: international development, public procurement, and billing and revenue recovery. Knowing what matters is the moat.

02

AI-native engineering

Every product is built in Claude Code, with a documented operating system of specs, task files and audit workflows that lets one operator run several codebases in parallel. On the flagship alone that meant nearly 200 merged pull requests in 2026.

03

Forensic discipline

Years of audit and investigations work show up in the products: provenance on every data point and evidence-backed outputs you can trace back to the source.

04 — Background

Investigator, auditor, portfolio director

My career spans Arthur Andersen, Ernst & Young's Fraud Investigation & Dispute Services practice, IBM Global Services, Navigant/Guidehouse, and the Millennium Challenge Corporation, where I directed a $2.7B development portfolio.

Today I lead Allied Consulting Solutions, a forensic accounting, litigation support and fractional CFO practice, while building the products above.

Outside the portfolio, I produce music: a multilingual catalog spanning dozens of genres and languages, releasing in 2026.
