I'm a staff software engineer with 10+ years of experience building user-facing products, developer tooling, and institutional-grade digital asset custody platforms.
My work focuses on systems where correctness, security, and trust matter—permissions, governance, settlement, auditability, and execution guarantees—while still delivering intuitive and delightful user experiences.
I've led initiatives end-to-end, from product and UX design through backend systems and production deployments, translating regulatory, operational, and technical constraints into reliable, maintainable software.
I operate as a hands-on technical leader, emphasizing clarity, ownership, and practical feedback. I enjoy mentoring engineers, raising the quality bar through example, and helping teams ship high-impact work in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
