// What I'm
drawn to

I like working on-chain. Not just monitoring it — actually understanding how value moves, where risk lives in a protocol, what a transaction graph tells you that a spreadsheet can't.

I like building things that didn't exist before. The Grayscale risk program was a blank page. That's the kind of problem I want more of.

I'm interested in where AI and blockchain analytics intersect — what it looks like when investigative tooling gets genuinely intelligent. And I think about the regulatory frontier a lot: not as a constraint, but as something that's still being written, and worth helping to shape.
