Profile

I ship consumer and infrastructure products across Solana and Circle's Arc. I'm building Gloam, a privacy layer for onchain finance, and I lead security as Head of Audits at SMC Audits. Before that I founded and led Siren, a prediction market trading terminal that integrated Kalshi and Polymarket, Privy embedded wallets, and real-time PnL over live USDC and SOL balances. My security work spans EVM and Solana, including an independent Phase 1 audit of Toly's Percolator that was quoted and verified by Anatoly Yakovenko, and I write the threads, articles, and weekly reports that make the work useful to others. Solana builder since 2023 and Core Member at Superteam Nigeria.

Experience

Head of Audits

2026 - Present

SMC Audits

  • Lead smart contract and protocol security audits across EVM and Solana, from scoping through responsible disclosure and fix verification.
  • Run adversarial reviews of DeFi protocols, launchpads, and on-chain financial infrastructure, proving findings with fork and local proof-of-concept exploits.
  • Author and maintain Kensho, a public offensive-security playbook for Web3 assessment and responsible disclosure.

Founder

2026 - Present

Gloam, privacy layer for onchain finance

  • Building private stablecoin payments and payroll on Tempo and Robinhood Chain: a shielded pool with selective disclosure proofs (Circom, Groth16) so users can prove a payment or balance without opening their whole book.
  • Shipped an MCP server listed on the MCP Registry and agent plugins for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, giving AI agents capped spending keys they cannot raise.
  • Private payroll live on testnet; submitted to Colosseum and interviewed on 3rd Variation's Founders Corner.

Founder and Lead Developer

2025

Siren, prediction market trading terminal

  • Built a prediction market trading terminal that aggregated Kalshi (via DFlow) and Polymarket, integrating live order placement, position tracking, and closing across providers.
  • Implemented Privy embedded wallets with real-time USDC and SOL balance reads using Solana web3.js and SPL token accounts.
  • Built a persistent data layer on Supabase for hedge history and PnL, with real-time PnL streamed over Supabase Realtime (WebSocket subscriptions) in place of polling.
  • Designed a natural language trading agent covering intent parsing, market matching, and edge-case handling, plus a risk layer for correlation and concentration.
  • Hardened API routes with error handling and retries; shipped end to end and processed over $2,000 in trading volume.

Independent Builder and Researcher

2023 - Present

Solana and Circle's Arc

  • Shipped Keryx, a pay-per-call monetization layer for AI agents on the x402 protocol with USDC settlement on Arc, with a full site, docs, and whitepaper.
  • Published an independent Phase 1 security audit of Toly's Percolator risk engine, quoted and verified by Anatoly Yakovenko, then shipped the Percolator SDK and dashboard on npm as @percolatortool/sdk.
  • Built Hanko, a Solana vault program that splits a tokenized stock into three SPL tokens (Shield, Core, Edge) settled against Pyth, live on devnet and submitted to the Solana Foundation Stocklana hackathon.
  • Built Onca, a manipulation-resistant DePIN oracle for prediction markets delivered as Rust/WASM tools for ZeroClaw agents, proven on Solana devnet.
  • Also shipped notch (survival-ranked token launchpad, live with $NOTCH), Aumo (autonomous stablecoin treasury on X Layer), Celano (confidential yield on Zama FHEVM), Bulldropper, Deriverse, Vector, and crewdeck. Helius RPC, webhooks, and DAS power the Solana data layers.
