Onchain financial systems
architect.
I design DeFi systems for founders, protocols, and institutions where financial logic and engineering architecture come together.
Practice
Four areas of practice.
Each engagement is scoped to the system at hand.
- 01
Trading & Derivatives
Design perpetual futures, prediction markets, options protocols, and spot DEXs. Build margin engines, liquidation logic, order matching and position management.
- 02
Protocol Infrastructure
Design oracle networks and price feeds, keeper systems for liquidations, automation pipelines, and cross-contract coordination.
- 03
Security & Risk
Map economic attack surfaces, model parameter sensitivity, simulate adversarial behavior, stress-test at protocol level.
- 04
Market & Incentive Design
Design dynamic fee models, vault strategies, points programs and LP incentives.
Method
How I work.
- 01
You work with me, not a team I manage.
Every architectural decision comes from the same person who has shipped systems at scale. No layer between you and the architect, no delegation to junior engineers.
- 02
System design comes before code.
Engagements start from financial system design: incentive structures, market mechanics, risk parameters, failure modes. The implementation follows the design.
- 03
Built for technical counterparts.
The fit is best when the counterpart (founder, head of engineering, head of products) is technical and the conversation can stay focused on the system itself.
- 04
Defined scope, real milestones.
Engagements are structured around specific outputs (architecture reviews, system specifications, production builds) with milestones that can be evaluated.
- 05
Economic and technical, undivided.
Financial logic and engineering architecture are designed together.

Engage
Working together.
I work with founders, protocols, exchanges, and institutions building onchain financial infrastructure, either as an external architect or embedded within your engineering team. If you have a system-design problem and want to move quickly with clear deliverables, let's talk.
