With roots in large-scale networking, security, and information operations, I explore the grey areas between disciplines. My work bridges the gap between technical innovation and real-world applications, and fosters unexpected collaborations among a variety of interesting people and projects.
I have extensive experience in cryptocurrency security, analytics and regulation, including work at two successful startups.
