I build trading platforms and the edge infrastructure that runs them.

Co-founder & CEO of Axiom (YC W25), a crypto trading platform. Before that I was a software engineer at TikTok working on generative AI for ads. I care about performant frontends, low-latency systems, and shipping products people actually love to use.
