From setting technical strategy, research and roadmaps and making the architecture decisions to hiring for the team and driving partnerships and integrations, I will take systems from idea to production and keep them running there. I have led engineering, research and infrastructure for Substrate-, Ethereum- and Solana-based networks through to mainnet launch. Today I provide technical leadership and engineering support to startups building protocols and infrastructure, through my studio F.R.E.D.

Behind that sits an unusually deep range: years in neuroscience and academic engineering, embedded hardware and prototype manufacturing, security and reverse engineering, data analysis and machine learning (including AI/LLMs), and full-stack web development. It lets me own a system from the circuit board to the production network.

Much of my work is done for clients and is not public, but the open-source part gives a good impression of its range and depth: a selection is on the studio’s project page, with more on GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket. My full resume is available for download.

I am open to senior technical leadership roles and take on consulting engagements through my studio; please feel free to get in touch.
