Engineering leader, architect, researcher, and hands-on systems builder specializing in trading infrastructure, financial infrastructure, DeFi protocol engineering, distributed systems, and AI-native software engineering.

Over the past 20+ years I have designed, built, led, and delivered production systems spanning enterprise integration, payments, stablecoin infrastructure, blockchain networks, execution platforms, and financial systems. Recent work has focused on modern Rust trading infrastructure, protocol engineering, distributed systems, technical architecture, and AI-native engineering practices.

Recent scope and outcomes:

• Built Rust-based trading infrastructure evaluating 1,100+ routes/sec
• Built route graphs spanning 17,000+ assets, 8,000+ liquidity pools, and 2.3M+ routes
• Applied AI-native software engineering practices across a ~99K-line Rust codebase comprising 13 crates and 16 architecture and process documents
• Led stablecoin payment infrastructure and cross-chain settlement initiatives
• Supported distributed blockchain infrastructure spanning 300+ nodes and 600+ validators
• Scaled engineering organizations from early-stage startups through enterprise delivery environments
