01
Hardware-rooted secure infrastructure
Pioneered HSM- and vTPM-backed secrets, trusted execution environments, confidential-computing controls, and defense-in-depth protections for security-critical exchange workloads.
New York · Lead Engineer, Platform Engineering
Secure platforms.
Enterprise AI.
Built from first principles.
I design and operate production-grade systems where infrastructure, hardware-rooted security, confidential computing, and AI meet.
What I do
Build the foundations other teams depend on.
My work spans zero-to-one architecture, hands-on implementation, production operations, and technical leadership. At Bullish, I progressed through Technical Services, Infrastructure, Secure Infrastructure, and Platform Engineering—expanding from exchange operations into hardware-rooted security and enterprise AI enablement.
Selected impact
Security depth. Platform scale. Practical AI.
Systems built to withstand scrutiny, reduce friction, and become dependable parts of how the business operates.
02
Organization-wide AI gateway
Productionized and operated LiteLLM as a business-critical AI gateway used by hundreds of people, adding Okta SSO, Datadog observability, AlloyDB integration, and reliability controls.
03
Smarter model routing
Built a task-aware coding-tool plugin that selected the right model and tuned context automatically, cutting AI costs by more than half for participating engineers while improving workflow and output quality.
04
Agentic operations
Created a reusable Slack product-management agent for delivery tracking, US/APAC handovers, blocker detection, announcements, and weekly red/amber/green reporting.
05
Portable AI integrations
Led platform-agnostic MCP integrations for Google Workspace and internal systems, then enabled third-party and open-source inference for nontechnical staff through the governed AI gateway.
06
Cloud product debugging
Worked directly with Google Cloud engineers to diagnose and help remediate Confidential Compute live-migration defects involving memory synchronization and vTPM state.
Experience
A career across product, platform, and security.

View contributionAbout
Curiosity with operational discipline.
I am most energized by work without a ready-made playbook: research the system, understand the failure modes, prototype carefully, and turn the result into something people can trust.
That approach has taken me from application engineering and cloud infrastructure to hardware-backed secrets, confidential computing, enterprise model gateways, and agentic internal tools. I work hands-on while helping teams and executives reason clearly about difficult technical choices.

Community, movement, and curiosity
I’m a husband, proud uncle and godfather, longtime meditation practitioner, and lifelong snowboarder and skateboarder. I organize New York City’s Onewheel community, enjoy the occasional security challenge, and keep a steady stream of side projects in motion.
