I've been into Bitcoin/cryptocurrency since 2011, and started working in it full time in 2013. I built smart contracts when serpent was still a thing (2017). Been active in the crypto community throughout my career-- mostly in SF but now in Austin TX.
Presently investing and building. Building is focused on EVM smart contracts, fun and useful NFTs, and the Arweave ecosystem.
At Gryphon we build bespoke backends for crypto hedge funds using the Gryphon Framework (gryphonframework.org). We implement strategies, build custom crypto exchange wrappers and maintain the framework at Gryphon labs (gryphonlabs.xyz)
Before that and occasionally still, I have done contracting work, mostly mobile (iOS) and web apps (Django, etc).
I went to USMA and Indiana University. Major Finance, enjoyed my Math minor more. I've worked for a Senator in DC, on multiple Bitcoin projects, and in web security sales.
Gryphon's sites are above, for my contracting check out Moonshot Applications' site (https://tothemoon.consulting) and portfolio (http://portfolio.tothemoon.consulting)!
