About

I help engineering teams make the right trade-offs between shipping fast and shipping securely. I'm a big believer in blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, not only as an investment asset but also as a revolutionary solution that unblocks the world's economic freedom. I spend my spare time analyzing on-chain transactions (mostly on Ethereum, Base L2, and Solana), watching DPRK laundering stolen cryptos, and from time to time taking on investigative side projects.

Learned a lot and had great fun!
