Welcome to my corner of the web. I'm a software engineer and security researcher specialized in blockchain protocols. Currently, I'm working on the Stacks blockchain where I build automated testing tools and sustain ongoing efforts to support the network's security goals. I'm a need-driven programmer - the testing frameworks I build come from real needs I encounter in my work.
