New York City Metropolitan Area
Building the urban inference layer in America’s highest-value cities. I am the founder of Skynode Partners, where we convert underutilized urban building infrastructure — rooftops, mechanical spaces, electrical capacity, risers, and secure back-of-house areas — into distributed edge colocation, AI inference, and communications nodes. The thesis is simple: the next layer of digital infrastructure will not live only in remote data center campuses. As AI inference, private networks, broadcast, public-safety communications, real-time video, and latency-sensitive enterprise workloads move closer to users, cities need carrier-neutral infrastructure inside the urban fabric. Skynode aggregates controlled building sites in markets such as New York, Miami, and Chicago and turns them into powered, connected, operationally managed nodes for compute, communications, and interconnection. Before Skynode, I founded and sold TowerIQ, a specialty RF hardware and emergency communications company serving high-rise construction. TowerIQ developed and manufactured systems that integrated fire alarms with two-way radio communications in complex building environments. I built the company from an unmet code requirement into a national business, creating novel regulated hardware products, establishing distribution, securing approvals, and leading the company through its sale and post-acquisition integration. My career has consistently sat at the intersection of real estate, regulated infrastructure, wireless systems, construction, advanced hardware, software, and technical sales. I have built rooftop radio sites, public-safety communications systems, RF products, quantum control systems, and go-to-market channels for technical products that have to work in the real world — not just in a slide deck. I am interested in conversations with building owners, data center and AI infrastructure developers, telecom and wireless operators, capital partners, and customers looking for dense urban power, connectivity, and deployment locations close to end users. Dual citizen of the United States and the Netherlands.
Rebranded from Crossband Consultants, we support urban connectivity by licensing, building, and operating urban rooftop infrastructure across major U.S. cities—turning underutilized rooftop and back of house space into low-risk, incremental revenue for property owners. We provide ready-to-deploy sites for broadcast transmission, private networks and high-capacity data links, and edge colocation/compute, plus experimental rooftop capabilities such as drone docking and sensing. For operators and end users, we simplify the entire process of site acquisition, engineering coordination, access/security, power and connectivity readiness, and long-term site management—so critical equipment can be deployed quickly and run reliably, locations include but are not limited to:
Qblox operates at the frontier of the quantum revolution.

As a Program Manager at Qblox I am responsible for the planning, execution, and lifecycle management of our next generation products. Working with product and technical owners to define and build the quantum future.
Providing the technology and curriculum so "Anyone Can." Adozi was driven by a commitment to revolutionize the landscape of workforce development and education. Drawing from our firsthand experience in training the trades, we were determined to produce a superior hands-on Learning Management System with comprehensive, adaptable, and engaging learning experiences. From a single app, Adozi enabled labor to both study the theory and apply the hands-on practice of skilled trade work.
