Research.
Build.
Ship.

I research, build and teach decentralized distributed systems, communication protocols, virtual machines, data-intensive and compute-intensive systems. I think of myself as a bridge between protocol engineers and developers building decentralized systems, parallel compute, systems engineering and core research.

I am a member of the Solana Turbine team where I am focused on driving technological innovations within the developer and research community in Solana development, protocol research, distributed computing, p2p protocols, cryptography, and quantum computing systems. I lead and organize Research Operations and Programs within the team and work on setting the structure and curriculum for Advanced SVM programs, AI-assisted protocol engineering standards, and verification frameworks. I also work with Solana Foundation to research and improve Solana's devEx landscape, build prototype technical demos, and maintain Solana Stack Exchange Q/A.
