At Hyperion AI, I architected and built AI-powered digital-asset platforms that connect trading, wallet analytics, DeFi and compliance workflows. I also built an evaluation platform for models and agents, with a 121-measure scorecard and reproducible benchmark evidence.

At Yahoo Finance, I served as Chief Architect for AWS modernization supporting approximately 40M daily and 150M monthly active users. I architected RAG-based financial research and collaborated with Google on 2023 GCP proof-of-concept work using Vertex AI and Generative AI Studio.

Earlier, I designed low-latency trading and financial platforms at firms including JP MORGAN CHASE, MORGAN STANLEY and CADENCE DESIGN SYSTEMS. My work includes sub-250-microsecond execution paths, cryptographic entitlement infrastructure supporting more than 2 million daily license checkouts, and hands-on systems engineering in C++, Rust and Go.
