Eliminating the barriers to invest-in, trade, and leverage exclusive real estate, private equity, and other real-world assets (RWAs) using applied cryptography.

Worked to accelerate the adoption of Bitcoin via developing, testing, improving, and maintaining River's flagship brokerage product. From integrating the in-house Lightning services infrastructure with the user-facing application, to fully architecting and implementing the Target Price Orders offering, I continually improved and extended River's codebase while also training and supporting its growing engineering team.

Spearheaded both the back- and the front-end development of a transparent, decentralized marketplace to allow participants to buy and share data and contribute to an open ecosystem of data-driven climate resilience applications.

Worked extensively across the full stack, with an emphasis on the core blockchain protocol implementation: the consensus and fault algorithms, networking code, API layers, and command-line tools and test suites. I fixed, improved, built, deployed, and maintained applications and products beyond the core protocol, including: official websites and web services; wallet and blockchain explorer software and libraries; external data and service integration; and both open source and proprietary product design, specification, and development for clients and demonstrations. I'm worked closely with the QA and testing specialists to ensure product integrity.
