I am a student at Berkeley doing a double major, business administration through Haas and analytics through Industrial Engineering and Operations Research in the College of Engineering, and I am on the CPA track through the Berkeley Charter of Public Accountancy. Most of my time right now goes into Gether, a company I co-founded. It is a credit card that lets you spend against your stocks, crypto, and cash without selling them. We have grant funding from the Solana Foundation and the Alchemy Foundation.
Before that I worked on stablecoin card rails at Apocor, built oracle infrastructure with Chainlink Labs, did reinforcement learning work at HootBoard, and underwrote hotel deals in Spain and Miami. I have been on-chain since around 2015 and shipped my first real project, an Ethereum DEX, in 2022. The common thread is payments and credit, and the accounting underneath both.

| SYM | NAME | WHY IT IS HERE | LAST | 24H |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BTC | Bitcoin | I built a private communication protocol on Bitcoin. The closest comparison for what it does is Tornado Cash, in the sense that it breaks the link between the two ends, but it is its own design and not derived from it. | … | |
| ETH | Ethereum | The DEX I built in 2022 ran on Ethereum. | … | |
| SOL | Solana | I used to trade here. The Solana Foundation is one of Gether's grant investors, and Open USD is launching on it. | … | |
| LINK | Chainlink | I worked with Chainlink Labs on CCIP and ERC-677 conformance for SWIFT deployments, and on prediction market execution infrastructure. Gether uses oracle pricing for collateral. | … | |
| HYPE | Hyperliquid | This is where I trade, and it is the market I think matters most right now. Perps and tokenized products used to need a broker and an account. Hyperliquid opened them to anyone with a wallet, which is the exact thing I care about across everything I build. | … | |
| ZEC | Zcash | I use Zcash for my own transactions. I like the shielded pool, and I follow the work on making the protocol quantum resistant. | … | |
| XMR | Monero | Monero is what I have always used for private payments. | … | |
| USDC | USD Coin | At Apocor the card and payment rails we were positioning settled in USDC. Gether's stablecoin leg uses it too. | … | |
| UST 2Y | US Treasury 2 Year | Policy expectations | … | |
| UST 10Y | US Treasury 10 Year | Benchmark for anything with duration | … |
