Education

Work Experience

  • Founder, CEO

    2018

    Building a simulation platform for crypto networks to help developers understand how decisions about security, governance, and consensus mechanisms are likely to affect network activity and asset value Backers include Paradigm, Coinbase, Distributed Global, Dragonfly, First Round, IA, and Polychain

Robot Ventures

2020

  • Partner

    2020

  • Quantitative Research and Development

    2016 - 2018

    High-frequency trading

  • Scientific Associate and Programmer

    2011 - 2016

2007 - 2011

  • Student Research (Mathematics and Physics)

    2009 - 2011

    Derived the energy spectrum and eigenfunctions for a Gauge/Gravity Duality model of charged black holes. These models help ease computations related to the certain models of high-temperature superconductors and other applications dependent on critical phase transitions. In the process, I found a new explicit example of a Generalized Sasaki-Einstein Metric.

  • Math Support Center Tutor

    2007 - 2011

  • Undergraduate Researcher, Software Development

    2010 - 2010

    I developed software to run multiple particle tracking simulations for the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) using Python and Fortran

Energy Recovery Linear Accelerator Group

2010 - 2010

  • Student Research Summer

    2010 - 2010

    Designed and implemented a testing framework in Python to provide quality assurance on multiple integration schemes used in Cornell's particle tracking simulation software.

AstraZeneca R&D

2009 - 2009

  • Clinical Development Intern, Summer 2009

    2009 - 2009

    The goal of this internship was to perform useful translational work that spanned both the bioinformatics and research-oriented areas of AstraZeneca's Wilmington R&D as well as the Clinical Development area. Projects Completed include: - Developing a drug-database search engine that worked with eRoom (coding done in ASP, VBA and occasionally Scala) - Evaluating psychological trials using mathematical techniques (mainly the use of finite probability measures on somewhat ordered clinical psychology data)

AstraZeneca R&D

2008 - 2008

  • Early Development, Summer (2008) Intern

    2008 - 2008

    This job consisted of both lab and computational work at AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals in Wilmington, Delaware. I worked on testing novel lipid drug-delivery systems, in particular self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDS). The work completed includes: - Testing of various SMEDDS compounds as vehicles for emerging psychology research compounds
