Engineering leader and builder focused on fintech and crypto infrastructure. At Galaxy, I am building secure, scalable systems for digital asset lending, rewards, and credit. Previously, I helped launch the first crypto rewards credit card and hold a U.S. patent for reward technologies. I also teach at Hunter College, bringing real-world engineering into the classroom to support the next generation of fintech talent. I thrive at the intersection of code, architecture, and product — turning complex systems into real-world impact. Outside of tech, I’m a certified Level 3 Teach ski instructor (PSIE), pursuing full certification while carving turns across New Zealand, Japan, North America and Europe.
As part of NYC Tech Talent Pipeline, Tech in Residence Corps, I teach in the Computer Science Department. Fall 2019, 2020, 2023 - Intro to Blockchain, the department's first offering of the course. Spring 2019 - I taught select topics part of the department's Capstone Course.
Hit pause on tech to chase winter across the globe — skiing and training in Austria, Canada, France, Japan, New Zealand, and Switzerland. Spent the year carving turns, teaching others how to ski, soaking up mountain life, and obtaining my PSIE Level 2 Ski Instructor Certification.
