Hi! I'm interested in building performant blockchain infrastructure.
Currently, I’m working on blockchain protocols and exploring the different design tradeoffs that are made to reach high performance. I’m also very excited by the compelling use cases that blockchains will bring and the eventual upgrade of the internet to being onchain.
I graduated from the University of Waterloo, studying Computer Science with a concentration in distributed systems. I have experience building large-scale infrastructure, distributed protocols, and database systems.
