Who I am

About

I work across the boundaries that determine whether a blockchain system stays correct: execution, state, authority, accounting, deployment, and the infrastructure around the contracts.

How I think

Research

Technical questions worked through from implementation, failure cases, and the underlying protocol mechanics.

What I explore

Lab

Bounded technical experiments — each one built to test a single idea about how a protocol behaves, not to demonstrate a finished product.

What I build

Systems

Protocols and infrastructure developed through concrete problems in execution, state, coordination, security, and verification.
