CTO and Principal Systems Engineer at Asgard, building open finance infrastructure.
About
Interests
I research & read about MEV, ZK, DAOs, mechanism design,
human behavior, and game theory. On the engineering side, I
build infrastructure for open finance, work on low-latency
distributed systems and consensus mechanisms, and conduct
security audits.
