About Me

My Story

I am a creator and strategist working at the intersection of art, technology, and business. For 13 years, I worked in Finance, across Commercial Banking, Investment Banking, and Investment Management, building the kind of analytical discipline that does not leave you when you change industries. A stint at Amazon added a different dimension: an appreciation for scale, logistics, and how complex systems actually move.

In 2020, I launched Woodes Consulting as a US-based business advisory. Over time, my focus shifted. I became deeply interested in what AI could do for storytelling, not just as a tool, but as a production methodology. By 2026, the firm had evolved into Woodes Labs, a full-stack AI Studio where I direct original music, animation, and film using workflows I built from the ground up.

"Curiosity compounds. Stay in the game long enough and the dots connect."

That is how I ended up going from investment portfolios to AI animation to writing a novel series. The Riverbay Dossiers takes a hard look at elite structures and the silent consensus that holds them together. Each step has been different, but the throughline is the same: stay curious, keep building, and trust that the work connects.
