I am a product-focused engineer, entrepreneur, and angel investor with a successful history of building groundbreaking experiences in Web3 and AI. I’ve spent my career building companies from the earliest stages, working up and down the tech stack, from writing cryptographic algorithms for IBM Mainframes powering big banks, to running Product/Engineering at a high-growth IPO-bound consumer product company, to successfully fundraising for several of my own startups, investing in many more, and everything in between.I am obsessed with solving real pain points for real people with delightful, fluid product experiences for the web and your phone. I love to build amazing teams, strategize growth plans, and to write the code to make it all possible. I have had deep experience in all aspects of starting, building, growing, and running software businesses, with millions of people worldwide using my software.My decade-long immersion in the fintech world has allowed me to contribute substantially to influential crypto products, such as the USDC stablecoin and Verite, a decentralized identity protocol. These projects have grown to be some of the most important cornerstones of the global Web3 ecosystem.Before Catena Labs, I founded M2 Labs, a Web3 development studio with a consistent track record of launching innovative products and exceeding a $1m ARR for a 2 person team. I also founded Vested, a platform that has enabled thousands of employees to confidently navigate their startup equity compensation. In addition, I created consumer-friendly platforms like jog.fm and songbpm.com, which together attract millions of unique visitors each month. Fundamentally, my goal is to use software to help people live happier, healthier lives. And to have fun while doing it.
