I'm an engineer at the San Francisco Compute Company, building infrastructure for the GPU compute market.
My interests sit at the intersection of mathematics, computer science, and philosophy. I grew up off-the-grid in a Tibetan Buddhist community for the first 13 years — the lineage was the Nyingma school of thought.
Previously: Founding Engineer at Pluto (applied cryptography, web proofs), Founding Research Engineer at Primitive (DeFi protocol design, Arbiter).
Some things I've done:
- Presented constant function market makers at DARPA as a DARPA Riser
- Received research grant from the Ethereum Foundation on algebraic hash function security
- Reduced TLS session proof generation from 30 minutes to 30 seconds at Pluto
- ⚛️ From Yellowcake to Gigawatts — Nuclear fuel cycle supply chain analysis
- ⚙️ COGS Rules Everything Around Me — AI is collapsing the cost of cognitive labor
- 🔭 The Thing About Knowing Things — Epistemology, Gödel, and the Yoneda lemma
- 🌊 The Power of Ideas — Information dissemination and algorithmic influence
