I'm an engineering leader, protocol designer and distributed systems architect with a proven track record of leading teams to design, develop and launch products that win. I gravitate toward hard problems, enjoy digging into unknowns, and as you can see from public feedback about me (e.g. my recommendations on LinkedIn), I leave lasting impressions. If I'm not creating value and growing, personally and professionally, I'm not happy.
I've built all sorts of software in several languages, including foundational contributions to popular blockchains and peer-to-peer protocols, financial analytics tools, algorithmic trading systems, web and mobile apps, massively distributed services, and core banking systems that directly power many of the world’s leading fintech companies. My research and development work has contributed to innovations in diverse fields ranging from solar energy to econometrics, and I’ve helped secure numerous US government contracts and grant awards, as well as over $400 million in private capital. For the past decade, my energy has been almost exclusively focused on distributed systems and protocol design.

I'm an insatiably curious, crypto-native creator, and I like to ship stuff that matters. I’m deeply committed to disintermediation, self-sovereignty, incentive alignment, and spearheading outrageously ambitious initiatives. I spend a lot of time thinking about stuff like decentralization, democratization, machine learning, and just how fragile most of the systems society relies on really are. When I’m not hacking on something I’m excited about, I’m probably on the farm working with my horses or trying to wrangle something.
