Synchronous Composability Engine

1 slotL1 ↔ L2 composability

• The engine lets L1 and L2 contracts call each other synchronously within a single slot.
• A live cross-chain Uniswap demo runs on top of the engine.
• The engine supports L2 to L1 to L2 round trips through deferred finalization.

• Rust
• Solidity
• Ethereum

Catalyst Block Building Engine

2sL2 block time

• I designed its block building engine for a ZK rollup with real-time proving.
• The engine builds blocks from the L2 mempool and gossips preconfirmations over P2P.
• The real-time fork encrypts proposal blobs and processes forced inclusions.

Taiko Rollup Contracts

$300M+TVL at peak

• My preconfirmation contracts cut Taiko mainnet block times from 12s to 2s.
• I built the lookahead store and wired it into the preconf router.
• I designed an EIP-7917 based slasher that penalises misbehaving preconfers.

DeFiPlenty Labs

Plenty Network

$500M+Lifetime volume

• I led the engineering team and wrote the core protocol contracts.
• Plenty V3 brings Uniswap V3 style concentrated liquidity to Tezos.
• The vote escrow system lets vePLY holders direct emissions and earn trading fees.

RollupsNethermind

Surge Rollup Stack

• I lead engineering on Nethermind's modular based rollup stack.
• I added real-time proving support to the L1 protocol contracts.
• I built the forced inclusion and privacy stack for the real-time fork.
