I design blockchain mechanisms that internalize systemically important roles — like market making and intent solving — within the protocol. These roles should be transparent, auditable, and accessible through on-chain logic — not reserved for privileged actors with reputation, capital, or off-chain influence.

My approach is what I call social mechanism design: engineering systems that allow participants to take on societal and economic responsibility without assuming user asymmetry. Too often, constraints are placed on users simply to make protocols easier to design — but those constraints create gatekeeping and fragility. I aim to reverse that logic.

With over a decade in financial engineering and risk management, my current work at Project Blanc and ChainSafe focuses on building intent-based infrastructure and solver networks. I see efficient, trust-producing markets not as a byproduct — but as a shared responsibility that must be embedded into protocol design.
