The thread through every role: a pull toward steep learning curves and a habit of leading the climb.

Denver Public Schools

Currently a Guest Teacher in the DPS system. Teaching pulls on the same instinct as the work: take something complex, find the first principle, and make it usable. The most honest test of whether you understand an idea is whether you can hand it to someone else.

subin

Substitute teaching gives you no established authority and limited time to find your footing. I created subin to replace that scramble with a ready-made game plan for the day and additional resources to help when the plan doesn't hold, all built directly from my own personal experiences in the classroom.

LINEA Return Decomposition

view ↗

A daily log-return decomposition of the LINEA token, splitting every price move into four terms that add exactly: ETH, network fees, the valuation multiple, and circulating supply. Built from primary on-chain data — 252,887 transfer events replayed from the genesis mint, supply reconciled to the token contract to the wei, and network fees computed block by block — with no explorer labels or aggregator figures. The result: since the dual burn went live, 38 million tokens burned against 16 billion unlocked, and a market paying 176× fees for adoption that has not yet arrived.

SBET Return Contribution

view ↗

Sharplink holds Ethereum, but owning the stock is not the same as owning the asset. Decomposing thirteen months of returns separates what came from ETH, what came from the multiple the market puts on net asset value, and what leaked away in dilution. The mix depends on how long you hold — the multiple drove half of a single day's move and a third of the period, because it mean-reverts and ETH doesn't.

IREN Valuation Analysis

view ↗

IREN is two investments stacked: a data centre building, and a decision to fill it with hardware rather than lease it out. With a third of its capital in real estate and more than 80% of announced capacity still to be built, the market is paying for contract pricing less than where the company signs today.

What It Actually Takes to Trust AI-Built Analysis

view ↗

An account of building an institutional-grade valuation model with AI, and of the eight times it was wrong. Not one was an arithmetic error. Every one was a claim about the output — a stale figure from an earlier build, a crossed reference, a share basis that didn't match the line beside it. What caught them was a regression harness, a second AI system with no stake in the first one's conclusions, and review. The work didn't shrink; it moved from construction to verification.

SBET Absolute Valuation

view ↗

Digital asset treasury companies get valued on ETH per share, a metric that rises on any buyback at any price and never registers a dollar of operating expense. This model puts NAV per share beside it and prices the warrant stack properly — treasury stock method where warrants are in the money, a Black-Scholes deduction where they are not. The anchor is what SBET is worth if management never touches the capital markets again; everything above that line is what you are paying for the machine.

The AI Capex Question: Value or Mirage

Valuing SPCX: Four Businesses, Four Costs of Capital

view ↗

SpaceX is more than one business, and each carries its own risk. This presentation introduces a sum-of-the-parts valuation of Space, Connectivity, AI, and Expansion, each priced at its own cost of capital rather than blended into a single company-wide discount rate.

ETH Valuation Analysis

view ↗

A sum-of-the-parts DCF that values ETH as programmable infrastructure, modeling composability, restaking, and agentic settlement as calibrated overlap rather than a comp-multiple guess. Built as a single dial-able valuation with no bull/base/bear scenarios. Simply adjust any assumption and watch one number, value per ETH, update live.
