As the Chief Technology Officer at Algorand, I am responsible for the people building the Algorand layer 1 public blockchain, a decentralized network protocol that enables fast, secure, and scalable transactions. I am a hands-on product / engineering leader with an extended track record of building large scale systems, growing high performance teams and driving turnarounds in team morale/performance. My engineering expertise gravitates around layer 1 blockchain protocols, big data processing/streaming, back-office reporting solutions, high fidelity transactional systems, and intuitive user experiences.
