Designed and built a modular interoperability protocol deployed across 150+ chains spanning Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, Starknet, and more, facilitating over $10B in cross-chain value transfer. Adopted by Aave, Velodrome, Relay, and Renzo.

Audited smart contracts across DeFi and Proof of Stake protocols including Eco stablecoin, Symbiotic restaking, and Royco. Reviewed Solidity and Solana programs for security vulnerabilities and incentive flaws.

Designed and built Aera Finance, Gauntlet's first on-chain protocol — a risk-aware treasury management solution adopted by Compound and Uniswap. Manages ~$150M TVL generating ~$5M in annual fee revenue.

Led smart contract development for stablecoin and identity protocols as code owner on production contracts. Orchestrated DAO governance and established a security-first release process with OpenZeppelin audits and Certora formal verification.

Built the first production implementation of Coinbase Rosetta, enabling exchange accounting, low-level value transfer tracing, and high-security offline staking for Coinbase Custody.

Implemented Proof of Stake validator logic and slashing conditions. Optimized oracle exchange rate reporting and contributed privacy-preserving enhancements to the phone number ownership protocol.
