01
Prove The Hard Path
Get the hardest path working end to end first. Everything around it gets easier once that holds.
Current Direction
Currently at Garden Finance — building the solver infrastructure behind cross-chain atomic swaps across Bitcoin, EVM, and beyond.
Since Oct 2024 — Atomic swaps, Rust, and a lot of edge cases
Built an RFQ solver engine in Rust — covering pricing, hedging, and settlement
Extended the atomic swap protocol to Tron — swap settles under 30 secs

Munger
Production RFQ solver for cross-chain swaps — covering quote generation, execution, hedging, inventory rebalancing, and settlement, backed by a double-entry ledger and fixed-point arithmetic for deterministic P&L under concurrent flows.

Markdown Utils
Privacy-first markdown toolkit for developers working with specs, docs, and AI-generated output. Export to PDF, DOCX, and HTML, diff revisions, normalize messy markdown, and inspect document structure without sending files to a server.

HSM Simulator
Software-based HSM simulator for Bitcoin and EVM signing. Validates custody and recovery flows with Taproot PSBT signing, EVM hash signing, and an m-of-n admin recovery path under the same address.

Working Principles
Make the critical path reliable first.
The most interesting problems are the ones that have to be correct, fast, and ready to hold up in production.
02
Make Failure Modes Obvious
A system is easier to trust when its weak spots are clear. I want to know how it fails before I depend on it.
03
Measure Real Behavior
I trust traces, latency data, and real failures over instinct — the system tells you what matters.
