About
I’m a software engineer and data scientist with a deep curiosity for systems — from manufacturing to finance, healthcare to social media, and from blockchain/web3 to traditional financial infrastructure. My work spans machine learning, backend architecture, and decentralized protocols, with occasional detours into robotics, automation, or whatever rabbit hole I’ve most recently fallen into.
Lately, I’ve been spending my personal time digging deeper into cryptography and blockchain architecture. My favorite projects right now are Chainlink and Kadena. Chainlink fascinates me for its mission to bring real-world data onto blockchains and enable isolated systems to speak to each other. I believe the interoperability it enables will have wide-reaching impacts beyond just finance. Kadena interests me for its scalable proof-of-work design and its smart contract language, Pact — which includes formal verification for safer, more reliable execution.
Recently, I’ve been exploring cryptography and blockchain architecture in more depth. Two projects I keep coming back to are Chainlink and Kadena. Chainlink stands out for its goal of connecting real-world data to blockchains — enabling isolated systems to interoperate in ways that could extend far beyond finance. Kadena because it offers a scalable proof-of-work model and a smart contract language called Pact. Pact's structure simplifys contracts and supports formal verification which provides greater safety and execution guarantees.
I’ve worked across AI, consulting, finance, manufacturing, and data-heavy startups. I care less about the specific domain and more about whether the problem is intellectually engaging and the quality of the solution. When I’m not behind a keyboard, I’m probably kiteboarding or woodworking — though, realistically, I’m behind a keyboard.
