Founded Nest, a Solana protocol that enables users and applications to borrow nUSD against tokenized equities and other supported assets.
Growing Nest to approximately $2 million in protocol liquidity while leading product strategy, protocol development, security, operations, partnerships, and go-to-market.
Working with wallets, fintech applications, tokenized-asset issuers, and Solana ecosystem partners to make tokenized capital more useful across onchain markets.
I'm a highly skilled engineer who has shipped products from zero to thousands of daily active users. I have experience shipping user-facing applications with fantastic UX, while also handling and architecting the backend systems behind them.
I've built indexers tuned for sub-second trading, autonomous DeFi vaults moving real money, AI assistants backed by custom RAG pipelines, and the infrastructure that keeps all of it online. I like owning systems end to end: writing the indexer, debugging the contract, running the RPC node, and shipping the frontend that sits on top.
Recent work includes founding engineering at Ryze Protocol, the LP Yield Optimizer Vault at Elys Network, an AI agent for Aztec Labs, and the AI developer assistant at the Stellar Development Foundation.
