About me

I’m a software engineer working across backend systems, blockchain protocols, developer tooling, full-stack products, and applied cryptography.

I’m a Co-Founder and Engineer at QuikDB, where I work on platform infrastructure, developer tooling, product features, and developer experience. I’m also the founder of Privara, a privacy-focused payment protocol, and I build across ecosystems including Ethereum, Stacks, and other programmable blockchain systems.

Outside of work, I contribute to open-source projects and explore zero-knowledge proof systems, with a particular interest in sumcheck, GKR, polynomial commitments, and implementing cryptographic protocols in Rust.
