Security leader turned builder. Six years securing hedge funds, investment firms, and hospital systems: working directly with clients, running delivery teams, and closing multimillion-dollar engagements, with deep infrastructure expertise across financial and other regulated industries. Now founding engineer and CEO of a live social trading platform on Solana with 4,000+ users.
Best fit: senior or founding engineer roles on systems that move money — where correctness, security, and end-to-end ownership matter.
