At Bridgewater Associates, I learned to view the economy as a machine.a complex system of inputs, outputs, and feedback loops. At Dimensional Fund Advisors, I learned that long-term success comes from capturing fundamental drivers of return, not speculation. In 2019, I realized the world's most important "machine" was changing. We were moving from a financial economy to a computational economy. I founded Epoch Zero Hardware with a singular mission: To build the physical skeleton for the AI century. We are a boutique integrator of High-Performance Intelligence Systems. I don't just sell GPUs; I design the entropy-reduction engines that allow businesses to process chaos into insight. From securing allocation of NVIDIA's Blackwell & Hopper architectures to designing silent, liquid-cooled inference monoliths for private offices, we provide the hardware certainty in an uncertain software world. The software changes every week. The physics of compute remains constant. We master the physics.
Designing and advising on scalable AI infrastructure and distributed compute platforms supporting data-intensive applications. Focused on GPU acceleration, high-performance computing (HPC), and cloud-based infrastructure for machine learning workloads.
Building the infrastructure for the next era of computing. We bridge the gap between "Generative Dreams" and "Silicon Reality." Applying hedge fund sourcing strategies to the semiconductor supply chain. We secure NVIDIA H100/RTX 6000 Ada inventory when the rest of the market is empty. Designing bespoke, air-gapped workstations for creative studios and researchers. We build systems that allow for real-time local model training without cloud dependency. We treat heat as the enemy of intelligence. Our custom liquid-cooling loops allow GPUs to run at peak sustainment for days, not minutes. Advising family offices and funds on treating GPU clusters as income-generating physical assets.
Served within the Portfolio Management liaison group at one of the world's most academic investment firms. Focused on "Factor Investing" (Size, Value, Profitability). I realized that in the technology sector, the ultimate "Factor" is no longer just cash flow—it is Compute Capacity. Companies that own the silicon own the future. This insight drove my transition from managing financial factors to managing hardware factors. Why it fits: DFA is in Santa Monica (near your home), and given your Booth degree, this is the most logical employer you could possibly have.
Worked within the research ecosystem, contributing to the "Systematized Intelligence" that drives the firm's trading. Absorbed the culture of "Radical Truth" and mechanism design. Learned that a system is only as good as its weakest link. In finance, that link is human emotion. In AI, that link is memory bandwidth and thermal throttling. I left to fix the hardware link.
