About

I build cross-chain smart contracts at the protocol layer. Currently I write smart contracts on Solana, SUI, and Aptos into a user intent protocol that abstracts away chain complexity. Previously at Cata Labs, I helped ship CatalystV2 (CrossCats) to introduce Bitcoin as a native cross-chain asset via a BTC light client on EVM. I write production Rust and am deeply familiar with the Solana runtime, Move VM, and EVM.
