Head Of Engineering

Web3 engineering leader with a proven track record of scaling DeFi protocols from concept to multi-million TVL launches. I transform innovative financial primitives from whitepaper to production-ready systems.

I specialize in building high-performing engineering teams that execute complex technical roadmaps while maintaining the rigorous security standards essential for DeFi. My leadership approach balances technical excellence with strategic team development—identifying talent gaps, establishing robust development practices, and fostering collaboration across technical and business functions.

My expertise centers on protocol architecture, smart contract security, and capital-efficient market mechanisms. I excel at translating complex financial concepts into robust technical systems that address real challenges in on-chain credit and risk management.

Beyond engineering, I bridge technical development with strategic business objectives—coordinating with security partners, gathering user feedback through testnet competitions, and creating implementation roadmaps that align with market opportunities.

Looking to connect with builders, investors, and innovators working to create the next generation of decentralized financial infrastructure.
