Lead Engineer

First encountered blockchain in 2014 and started to develop tools with the advent of Homestead on Ethereum.

Founded a R&D company in London with $5 million of funding to develop an industrial blockchain from the ground up. This project became known as Catalyst with the successful launch of several test networks and the open sourcing of the complete codebase.

Founded Cent Finance that provides the Cent mobile wallet to Android and iOS, founded the Symmetric DAO and AMM on Gnosis and Celo networks with plans to launch on Kava over the coming weeks.

While I have founded projects, raised funds multiple times and grown communities, I am still a very hands on developer and love to build and solve real world problems in code and infrastructure.

Currently working as a developer with Vana AI Blockchain on the development of a new archive node, subgraph and optimisations to the network.
