Bridging investment teams and due diligence software—and writing about the filings, capital structures, and last-over chases that catch my attention.

I am a Solutions Engineer at Dasseti, sitting between investment teams and the software they use for due diligence on private markets. Previously BlackRock in asset management, SkyBridge in fund of funds, and Mayo Clinic in health data. Left home at twelve for military school, moved to China on scholarship at sixteen, studied data science in Iowa, and now work remotely from Florida.

Current Role
Solutions Engineering

At Dasseti, helping institutional allocators streamline due diligence across private equity and debt, while building tools to parse SEC Form ADV and 13F filings.

I turn problems into tools: small applications I wanted that didn't exist yet. Below are two working sandboxes that connect directly to my daily work and weekend matches. Before you click, here is what each tool lets you test:

Interactive Tool 01 · Institutional Due Diligence

SEC Form ADV Adviser Diff

Compare sworn regulatory disclosures across 8 major advisers. Toggle the side-by-side diff to see how discretionary mandates, fee models, and client bases diverge between index giants and private buyout shops.

Why this matters in institutional diligence: In my work at Dasseti, SkyBridge, and BlackRock, I learned that pitch decks highlight what managers want you to see, but SEC Form ADV Part 1A discloses what is legally true. This interactive sandbox compares 8 registered advisers across regulatory AUM, discretionary mandate splits, client concentrations, and fee structures. Check "Enable Side-by-Side Diligence Diff" below to contrast an index giant like BlackRock against a private equity leader like Blackstone.

Interactive Tool 02 · Weekend League Cricket

2D Pitch & Last-Over Tactician

Simulate defending tight finishes at Waverly with only 9 fielders and a strict 5-fielder boundary limit. Drag fielders across the circle or reveal our match-tested death-over setup.

Why this matters in the death overs: On weekend mornings in Florida league cricket (playing for SWAT and TB Bengal Tigers), defending seven runs in the final over at Waverly is the ultimate test of risk management under strict rules. You only have 9 fielders, and the laws strictly forbid having more than 5 outside the 30-yard circle. Select a match scenario below, drag any of the 9 fielders on the field to test boundary coverage, or click "Reveal Suggested Formation" to see how we cut off angles and forced mistimed lofted shots.
