Smart Contracts at Virtual Finance — pre-launch roadmap, production readiness, and clear-eyed technical guidance for the founders.

Smart Contracts Lead2026

Engineering manager for the v3 of the Alchemix protocol — core, strategy, and governance layers, running the dev process, and shepherding the protocol through multiple audits and audit competitions.

Engineering Manager2024 – 2025

Built and led the smart contracts team serving all of Polygon — full contract suites for new products, maintenance and upgrades across the stack, triage when things caught fire.

4 Ethereum Cat Herders

Four-plus years herding a protocol nobody owns: EIP shepherding, note-taking for All Core Devs, multisig signer, and host of the Cat Herders podcast — guests like samczsun included.

Wrangler, then Catblazer2019 – 2023
5 Belisarius (0xa57)

Reverse-engineering a prolific MEV bot from raw bytecode — manual decompilation of an unverified contract, a public dataset in progress, and ongoing strategy reconstruction. Documented as it happens.

6 Ricing Project

A personal ricing project, complete with a slideshow deck. The NixOS laptop gets smart-contract discipline: a deadman switch, exact-closure deploys, and a credential audit where a passing dry run counts as a failure.

7 Tools & Nodes

I run things to understand them: Ethereum nodes and an indexer, IPFS and Swarm, Radicle. Lately I've been working on the AI stack: harnesses, skills, MCP, local models via ollama and vLLM, libre frontends.
