Product Manager

I designed, spec'ed, and managed the development of 5 POCs, along with 2 MVPs. Designed an access layer for a blockchain-based file storage system, achieving enhanced performance and strengthened privacy through tailored protocols. Designed a new identity scheme, leveraging proof-of-personhood, augmented TLS sessions with MPC and ZKP, and blockchain-based verified credentials. Formalized security properties for the variations of proof-of-personhood.

I collaboratively designed the architecture of an entire multi-chain network, produced over 100 pages of specs, and managed the development from concept to MVP. Meticulosuly spec'ed novel leader and leaderless consensus algorithms, hot and cold state management, message-passing, and much more—all with cutting edge industry standards. Collaborated on the design of the network topology, committee selection algorithm, and consensus protocols. Served as the face and voice of an 8 minute professionally produced marketing video.

Informed the design of a multi-chain network and was promoted to a lead architect role. Contrasted the network economics, mechanism design, and execution environments of every major blockchain.

Built and relased version 1 of the platform; it was then shortly acquired and repurposed by the operations-focused company Powerhouse. Development was always ahead of schedule, due to my ability to limit 'deleted features', refactors, and other technical debt.

Designed, developed, and benchmarked an on-chain POC for range polling that mitigated tactical voting. Researched and benchmarked the various range polling protocols and defined various attacks against each one.
