I'm a founding engineer at 𝚝𝟷: a protocol harnessing real-time proofs to unify the Ethereum ecosystem.

Why Crypto?

Every nation eventually fails, and with it, its currency. You can't restart a government, so you can't restart its currency.

Cryptocurrency has the potential to outlast every government in history. By 3025, human civilization (or its post-biological descendants) will likely be a multiplanetary species that has transcended its reliance on biological state actors to maintain the monetary system. I believe distributed consensus mechanisms, zero-knowledge proofs, and trusted execution environments to be early prototypes of what value transfer verification will look like in a thousand years.

The blockchain vision is uncompromising: non-custodial, censorship resistant, transparent, composable, cryptographically secure, and usable by everyone on the planets, every day, at reasonable cost. I'm in crypto because I believe I can help build this system, and because the problem is hard enough to be worth a career.

Open Source Work

  • xChainRead: a cross-chain verification primitive that enables smart contracts to securely call view functions on other chains and prove the results back to an origin chain.
  • Struct Finance: a structured financial product to tranche LP positions on AMM pools.
  • vm.signDelegation: A forge cheatcode to sign an EIP-7702 authorization for delegation.

Closed Source Work

  • Yild: A cross-chain yield optimizer for the Ethereum ecosystem, leveraging TEEs for verifiable offchain computation.
  • Furnis: A CI/CD platform for smart contract development to execute forge scripts in a secure environment, track on-chain interactions, and seamlessly access artifacts.
