I've spent the last decade building financial products at the edges — where new money rails meet real people.

Most recently Head of Product at Paxos, leading stablecoins, brokerage, and platform. Before that, Block, Coinbase, Deutsche Bank. I live in Brooklyn with my family and think a lot about what gets built next.

Stablecoin Infrastructure

USDG / PYUSD Platform

Built the product layer for Paxos's stablecoin platform — PYUSD with PayPal scaled to $4B, and the Global Dollar Network grew from idea to 108 partners. Compliance-grade infrastructure that actually shipped.

Side project

Network CRM

Built a lightweight PWA to manage my own job search — contacts, outreach history, pipeline stages. Scratched my own itch.

Research

Agentic Payments & x402

Solo deep dive into the x402 protocol and what agentic payment infrastructure actually needs to look like. Used Claude Code to run the spike end-to-end.

Collecting

Generative Art Collection →

On-chain and generative art. Mostly things that reward close looking.




I'm looking for the right product leadership role — ideally at the intersection of fintech and crypto infrastructure. Also happy to talk to interesting people working on interesting problems.
