I research and build 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 research.

I am a member of the Solana Turbine team focused on driving technological innovations within the developer and research community in protocol research, distributed computing, p2p protocols, cryptography, and quantum computing systems. I serve as the Research Operations and Programs Lead 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.
