i build and lead engineering teams in building extremely robust systems. i do this by having us think comprehensively and adversarially about a codebase, protocol, or mental model. i/we then apply the simplest automation, testing, new mechanisms, or even redesigns to acheive the desired functionality. generally: i just love coding
web3 protocol design and red-teaming
end-to-end specification or review of web3 protocols from all angles:
* on/offchain separation
* liquidity
* game theory and incentive alignment
* MEV
tell me what you want at the highest level and i'll specify or break your system.
architecture, engineering, and testing
offchain services and tooling [rust, typescript, scala/java, python]
smart contracts [solidity, foundry]
business uncertainty reduction
* estimating/modeling the risks of high-stakes decisions (even seemingly unquantifiable ones)
* finding unchallenged assumptions
* designing cheap experiments that drastically reduce uncertainty
