Building software that acts.
I work on systems that trade, hedge, route, reconcile, and recover without waiting for a human.
Currently building autonomous trading and risk infrastructure. Previously worked across AI agents, market infrastructure, and zero-knowledge systems.
I also research the mechanisms underneath markets: liquidation, solvency, funding, verification, and what changes when software becomes the market participant.
what i do
how i work
- + build for failure before optimizing the happy path
- + make autonomous systems observable, constrained, and recoverable
- + work close to the boundary between software decisions and real financial consequences
- + use research when engineering intuition stops being enough
- + prefer problems where the answer isn't obvious yet
tech stack
- rust · go · python · typescript
- fix · grpc · postgres · redis · kafka
- aws · kubernetes · terraform
- agents · llms · zero-knowledge
The tools change. The problems are more interesting.

I occasionally invest in and advise technical founders.
Mostly interested in people working on things that sound slightly unreasonable before they work.
