Founder & Principal Engineer at Distributed Systems Labs. New York.
Thirty years close to the machine. C, Assembly, and C++, and now primarily Rust. The focus is systems where correctness is not negotiable: privacy protocols, onion routing, blockchain infrastructure, high-frequency trading, and settlement rails for regulated institutions.
- Ferrous - Layer 1 blockchain in Rust. RandomX PoW, BIP39 wallets, Shamir recovery, post-quantum signatures.
- Settrum - wholesale settlement layer for regulated institutions, on a permissioned Substrate chain.
- Bytus - ledger-first crypto-to-fiat settlement with an append-only cryptographic audit chain.
- Axiom - compact, deterministic, quorum-finality ledger for commercial notarization and audit.
- Arcmint - federated accountable-anonymous e-cash on Bitcoin.
- Locproof - tamper-resistant proof that two parties shared a physical location.
- Stride - local AI on your own machine. Private by default, fast, built for the hardware you already own.
- Spawn - Rust game engine. Archetype ECS, wgpu rendering, Rapier physics, Lua scripting.
Latency, determinism, and failure modes. Protocol design where the threat model is real. The unglamorous parts of distributed systems, settlement finality, consensus under partition, the difference between "passed the tests" and "correct."
