Software Engineer
Blockchain Architect
Designing resilient architectures that scale across nodes, regions, and trust boundaries.
Building secure, verifiable computation through modern cryptographic primitives.
Embedding intelligence into infrastructure for autonomous, adaptive systems at scale.
"Justin brought architectural clarity to a problem we'd been circling for months. The system he designed is still the backbone we run on today."
"Deep expertise in distributed systems and a rare ability to translate research into shipping infrastructure."
"Working with Justin shifted how we think about trust and verifiability in our protocol stack."
Let's Build
I work with founders, research labs, and engineering teams to design systems built for sovereignty, security, and long-term scale.
