I build greenfield systems where reliability, scale, and product velocity matter. Over the last decade I've worked across distributed systems, protocol infrastructure, real-time synchronization, AI-enabled tooling, and blockchain platforms. My work spans architecture, engineering leadership, platform operations, and hands-on implementation from prototype through production. I've founded companies, led engineering organizations, operated validator infrastructure, shipped multiplayer and blockchain-integrated products, and built systems that coordinate users, services, and machines in real time. Areas of focus: • Distributed systems & platform engineering • AI infrastructure & agentic systems • Protocol infrastructure & validator operations • Real-time synchronization & multiplayer systems • Technical strategy & product architecture I'm most energized by creation, leverage, and technically ambitious greenfield projects. I enjoy turning complex ideas into production systems and building the platforms that make teams move faster. Previously: • SVP Engineering, Cub3 • Founder, Moonshine Labs • Infrastructure & Protocol Systems, ---- • Distributed Systems & Synchronization, Croquet Labs
