About

I build systems.

In 2021, during an ETHGlobal hackathon, I threw away two weeks of work overnight and started from scratch. Three minutes before the deadline, I submitted the first version of what would later become Gearbox Protocol.

Since then, I've been building Gearbox as a co-founder — designing its core architecture and working across leverage, risk, and system design. Along the way, I introduced credit accounts — a new DeFi primitive — and built a verification layer for on-chain bytecode (BCR), ensuring deterministic deployments.

Gearbox has been running in production without critical failures — which, in DeFi, is the only metric that really matters.

In 2024, I started exploring autonomous agents, building early prototypes around AI-driven strategies and programmable coordination → see thread. I worked on deterministic on-chain agents, real-world data oracles, and systems where behavior is defined at runtime and executed on-chain.

Working on these systems led me into a new class of engineering problems: preserving context, building persistent memory, and making decisions reliable and verifiable across agents and humans.

I'm not moving away from Gearbox. I'm expanding the scope — from systems of capital to systems of coordination.

This site is where I write about that shift.
