Solutions architecture for AI, cloud, and agentic finance.
I spent five years at AWS, most recently as a Senior Solutions Architect, and I'm now a Customer Solutions Director at Ripple, leading our North America pre-sales architects. I also run Snowy Ghost (opens in a new tab), my own company, where I build iPhone apps.
Summit Now
At Ripple I lead a team of pre-sales Solutions Architects as a player-coach, advising 20+ global and regional banks on digital-asset custody and key management. Before that, at AWS, I advised ~20 enterprise accounts in financial services and healthcare, and drove 30+ cloud migrations.
I've designed AI systems at Ripple and AWS: an RFP workflow on Claude with an eval harness behind it, and the AWS architecture for a multi-provider AI layer in a healthcare platform. At Snowy Ghost, I build apps like Ovenlight (opens in a new tab), which lets a coding agent put the web app it built on your iPhone.
AI agents that can read a ledger and act on it. I build internal MCP servers that let an agent research XRP Ledger (XRPL) data and execute on-chain transactions.
The agent works through tools, calling the ledger the same way it would call any other API. The second example uses x402: the API answers "402 Payment Required", and the agent pays on the XRP Ledger and retries, with a person approving the payment before anything is signed.
An illustration with made-up testnet data, not my actual tools. Nothing here touches a real ledger.

OvenlightComing soon to the App Store
You or your coding agent built a web app. Ovenlight opens it on your iPhone behind Face ID, over a private connection to your own computer. The connector you install there is also an MCP server, so Claude Code or another agent that supports local MCP servers can publish the app, check it and read its logs.

GlitchLive on the App Store
Not everyone in the room is human. Each player is secretly dealt a role, human or robot. Humans race to find every Glitch card, while robots try to trick someone into drawing The Algorithm. A game takes 3 to 12 players, each on their own iPhone or iPad. Friends join with a five-letter room code.
