Fintech CEO  //  Founder  //  ex-UHNWI Advisor

Bringing institutional discipline to the next generation of capital.

I'm a former advisor to ultra-high-net-worth portfolios. Today I'm Chief Executive of FundedX and founder of ScalpView, two ventures rebuilding how serious traders access capital, and how they trade it.

From private wealth to public infrastructure.

My career began advising ultra-high-net-worth individuals. These were families whose capital required not just performance, but discretion, structure, and a deep institutional understanding of risk. At my peak, I oversaw more than $40 million in private capital. That world taught me how serious money is actually managed.

What I noticed, year after year, was a gap. The professional infrastructure available to UHNWI clients was nowhere to be found in the retail and prop-trading world. Institutional flow data, disciplined risk frameworks, the operational rigour of a private desk: none of it. Skilled traders were operating with consumer-grade tools.

I left advisory to close that gap. As Chief Executive of FundedX, I lead a proprietary trading firm giving skilled traders the capital to operate at scale. With ScalpView, the platform I founded, they get the institutional-grade intelligence to deploy it well. Together, they are the operating system I would have built for my private clients, now available to the next generation of serious operators.

Two ventures, one thesis.

Capital and clarity are the two things every serious trader needs, and the two things the retail world has historically denied them.

Capital Allocation

FundedX

Proprietary Trading Firm

A proprietary trading firm built for traders who've outgrown their own account. We provide the capital. You provide the edge. Professional terms, transparent rules, and a payout structure built for operators, not amateurs.

Work with me directly.

I take on a small number of advisory engagements each year with founders and operators in spaces I know well. If you're building in trading capital, trading technology, or financial infrastructure, and you want a sounding board with real operating experience, I'd like to hear from you.

For

Prop Firm Owners

Capital structure, payout architecture, trader acquisition, and the operational realities of running a prop firm at scale. I do this every day at FundedX. I know what works and where the unseen costs live.

For

Fintech Founders

Early-stage product positioning, go-to-market, and how to talk to institutional clients without losing the founder's edge. Particularly useful if your product touches trading, capital markets, or HNW segments.

For

Fintech Operators

Live advisory for executive teams running active fintech businesses. Pricing, retention, narrative, hiring, and the unglamorous decisions that decide whether a fintech compounds or stalls.

Two channels. That's it.

I don't run a website form or a calendar link. If we end up working together, the conversation has already started somewhere real. Reach me directly.

How I actually think about this work.

I

Institutional standard

Every product I build starts with one question: would this have been acceptable on a private-client desk? If the answer is no, it doesn't ship.

II

Capital deserves clarity

Traders are not gamblers. They're operators. The tools they use should reflect that. Transparent data, defensible logic, no theatre.

III

Built for the long arc

Trading careers are measured in decades, not quarters. Every system I design has to survive that horizon, not just a viral moment.

The next generation of traders deserves better tools.

Whether you need capital or the intelligence to deploy it, both desks are open.
