A next-generation prime brokerage, bringing on-chain instruments to your traditional brokerage account.

Today, Symbiosis supports block trading and portfolio margining for on-chain event contracts.

While at Succinct, I implemented and deployed novel cryptographic primitives as well focused on system design and optimization, including a custom RISC-V just-in-time compiled execution engine.

My team and I were the first to achieve a full execution proof of a mainnet Ethereum block in under 12 seconds. Today, SP1 secures millions of dollars in user funds across multiple chains.

At Alongside, I spearheaded design and development of both the V1 and V2 smart contract protocols. Besides implementation, my work and research focused on novel rebalancing mechanisms and security.

During my engagement with Sentiment, I helped build and design the V2 smart contract protocol on Hyperliquid. Most of my work involved implementation of the core risk engine, which was in charge of the solvency of the entire system, securing over $40M in user funds.
