My career has been spent around capital — how it is allocated, how it compounds, and how decisions about it behave under pressure.
For more than two decades I have worked both advising institutional capital and deploying it as a principal investor. I have advised foundations, family offices, and institutional clients at firms including Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan, and have invested with discretion across multi-asset portfolios spanning public equities, private equity, venture capital, and real assets. Over the years I have participated in investment committees, structured direct investments, and designed allocation frameworks responsible for deploying capital across market cycles.
That perspective — advising capital and allocating it — shaped how I think about investing. The most effective investors do not separate analysis from judgment. They build architectures: frameworks that remain coherent when markets are unstable, processes that surface risk before it becomes obvious, and disciplines that hold when conviction is hardest to maintain.
ClarityX Research Institute grew out of a persistent observation. Investment professionals rarely suffer from a shortage of data. What fails more often is reasoning — signals conflict and the tension goes unresolved, regimes shift quietly beneath the surface, and second-order effects emerge only after capital has already moved.
MARY was built to address that gap. It is a multi-agent investment reasoning architecture designed to integrate macro analysis, fundamental research, portfolio construction, and quantitative strategy — not as separate tools, but as a system that reflects how disciplined investment committees actually think.
I studied Computer Science at the University of Southern California and completed my MBA at Oxford. The combination of engineering foundations and institutional investment practice is why the system was built the way it was.
The research published here reflects the thinking that emerges from that architecture.
