Who I am.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with over 11 years of experience leading teams and building production applications end-to-end. My expertise spans security-critical financial applications used by institutional clients, research at a blockchain-focused venture fund, and, most recently, independent applied systems work spanning complex data pipelines, autonomous LLM workflows, and payment systems.

Highlights include:
  • • Creator and architect of Pirex, a decentralized financial (DeFi) protocol that grew to $200M+ in assets managed at its peak, and was adopted by institutions.
  • • Recipient of a $100K reward from Compound Finance, a financial protocol with $1B+ in managed assets, for the disclosure and remediation support of a critical security vulnerability.
  • • Founder of a venture-backed hardware (IoT) startup; developed the wearable posture-monitoring prototype responsible for $467K in Kickstarter pre-orders.
  • • Research Fellow for dLab's inaugural accelerator cohort; authored blockchain DevX research and developed a node-as-a-service platform to accelerate onchain app development & deployment.
  • • Participant in an invite-only hackathon organized by Tempo, a Stripe-incubated blockchain; built a paid LLM research workflow API for selling cited LLM research outputs via MPP.
