I'm an independent developer-entrepreneur fixated on Ethereum infrastructure, cypherpunk ideals, and open-source software. These days I split my time between Rust, Solidity, and deep dives into protocol design.
Building serious crypto infra or researching distributed systems? Let's talk.
Previously
- Founding Engineer & Tech Lead, Razor Network – shipped mainnet, ran two incentivized testnets, and steered audits with Halborn & SlowMist.
- Product Engineer, Signeasy – made e-signatures smoother for millions.
Open Source
- Razor Network – fully open oracle protocol; I was founding engineer & core maintainer.
- Reth – blazing-fast Rust execution client for Ethereum; community contributor.
- Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) – reviewer and contributor to core protocol standards.
Research
(IEEE 10.1109/ICKEA.2017.8169892) “Sentiment analysis for sarcasm detection on streaming short text data.” - Published in 2017.
Projects & Hobbies
- Simplehuman – Gmail command-bar power tool built for keyboard-first productivity.
- Occasional mev experiments and smart contract prototypes—mostly to stay sharp and have fun.
Software should be free, composable, and privacy-preserving. Let’s build that future together.
