I execute deals by day and build systems by night.

About

Executer. Thinker. Builder.

I'm an investment banker based in Singapore. My work spans large-scale capital raises, buy-side advisory, and IPO execution, with particular depth in data centers, AI-driven infrastructure, and platform businesses across Asia-Pacific. Born in the States, grew up in China, now operating out of Singapore.

I think in systems, strategy, and long-arc outcomes. My goal is to transition from advising on transactions to building and operating technology businesses. I'm drawn to the intersection of AI infrastructure, financial systems, and platform-scale commercial logic. Everything I build is a step toward that.

The best builders understand both the strategic layer and the mechanical layer. I don't want to be a developer. I want to be an operator who can build, someone who understands markets, systems, and incentives deeply enough to create things that matter.

What I'm Building

Projects in motion.

Live

BerthierOS

Personal AI operating system. A self-hosted agent running 24/7 on a Singapore server, integrating email drafting, calendar awareness, semantic search over 3,500+ notes, and market intelligence, all orchestrated through Discord.

Live

Pocket Analyst

A Python CLI that handles the mechanical side of market intelligence. Pulls from yfinance, FRED, and Tavily, tracks portfolio positions, fires price and macro alerts, and ships a Sunday Brief into Discord every week via BerthierOS. Programmatic-first by design: the LLM is an interpretive layer, not the data source.

Live

GMKtek

Self-hosted home infrastructure running on a mini PC in Singapore. n8n for workflow automation, local LLM endpoints, QMD for publishing, and Whisper for transcription. The at-home counterpart to BerthierOS's cloud droplet, where latency is free and experiments can stay private.

In Development

APAC Digital Infrastructure and Financial Technology Newsletter

A regular newsletter covering data center developments, announced deals, regulatory changes, and capital flows across Asia-Pacific digital infrastructure and financial technology markets.

Let's talk.

I'm exploring opportunities at the intersection of AI, fintech, and infrastructure. If you're building something interesting or think there's a fit, I'd like to hear about it.
