Leading Development
I've spent more than 15 years turning hard technical ideas into systems that work - it always been my passion. I entered crypto in 2016-2017, during Ethereum's early years, and have since moved fluidly between deep engineering, applied research, and leadership-carrying complex projects hands-on, building teams from zero, and guiding them from first principles to production. Today, as founder of Pelagos and Nabu, I'm building low-latency multichain infrastructure and AI-native financial products, with one goal: make decentralized execution powerful enough for real-world markets without compromising the principles it was built on.
