I build at the intersection of product judgment and market structure.
Fifteen years building products where the cost of being wrong is measured in regulatory fines and client withdrawals. From institutional trading systems handling $1B+ monthly volume to DeFi and AI products built from scratch.
I work where fintech product meets trading infrastructure, DeFi, and AI. The common thread is simple: I am drawn to systems where product decisions affect capital, risk, compliance, and execution quality, not just user engagement.
Over fifteen years: compliance platforms overseeing $500B+ in client assets, hedge fund portfolio and accounting infrastructure, institutional crypto trading systems scaled to $1B+ in monthly volume, and AI and DeFi products built from scratch.
The pattern across all of it is market structure plus product craft. Trading platforms, settlement workflows, risk systems, tokenized finance, and AI copilots all fail when the product team only understands the interface. The real work is understanding what happens underneath: execution, liquidity, reconciliation, regulation, latency, incentives, and failure modes.
I write about trading platforms, algorithmic execution, DeFi market structure, and AI systems operating in high-risk domains. I trade and build public products because staying close to live systems keeps the thinking honest.

Personal projects I build in public alongside my product work. These are working products used to explore AI trading workflows, execution infrastructure, Web3 commerce, and the product gaps I write about.
AI trading strategy builder with webhook-driven execution and a real risk engine.
Describe a trading strategy in plain English. PineStrat generates Pine Script v6 code, receives webhook alerts when the strategy fires, applies a configurable risk engine, and executes paper trades on Binance Testnet with a real-time dashboard.
A Web2.5 commerce architecture. Blockchain escrow, event-driven webhooks, Web2 UX.
Ethereum smart contracts hold funds in escrow, a custom subgraph indexes blockchain events, and a Postgres database stores rich metadata. The thesis: crypto commerce is stuck because teams try to put everything on chain. The right answer is hybrid.
The areas I work in, write about, and build around. This list is intentionally focused on the intersection I want to own publicly: financial markets, product systems, trading infrastructure, DeFi, and AI.
A growing archive of articles and LinkedIn essays. I write about financial technology from a builder and operator perspective: what breaks in production, what institutions care about, and where AI and Web3 are actually useful.
A practical roadmap for PMs who want to prove real AI product judgment through hands-on projects covering prompts, context, RAG, model tradeoffs, evals, guardrails, and production behavior.
