Profile

I'm a Staff Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience building high-reliability products across Web3/DeFi, accessibility, and institutional digital asset custody. My recent work focuses on translating complex systems — blockchain, governance and permissions models, and financial and operational constraints — into intuitive products that enable organizations to securely manage and operate digital assets. I set technical direction in ambiguous product and system spaces while helping teams move faster by reducing development friction, improving engineering standards, and integrating AI-assisted tools and workflows that increase developer velocity without compromising code quality or system reliability. Lastly, I mentor engineers by setting clear expectations and modeling strong technical judgment and execution so teams can operate autonomously and consistently ship reliable systems.
