{\bfseries Experience}\\[2pt]
\rule{\linewidth}{0.4pt}\\[4pt]
\textbf{Co-Founder \& CEO} \hfill \textit{Mar 2021 -- Present}\\
\textit{Sonr --- New York, USA}
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*, nosep, topsep=2pt]
\item \small{Founded the startup and led executive fundraising, securing \$4.7M to build a peer-to-peer identity and asset management system leveraging DIDs, WebAuthn, and IPFS.}
\item \small{Directed technical strategy and led a cross-functional engineering team building a React Native mobile chat application powered by the decentralized Matrix protocol.}
\item \small{Drove open-source growth to the 4th-highest global GitHub contributions (Oct 2021--Oct 2022) and shaped web standards as a W3C Working Group Member for DIDs, WebAuthn, and WASM.}
\end{itemize}

{\bfseries Projects}\\[2pt]
\rule{\linewidth}{0.4pt}\\[4pt]
\textbf{Beam --- Decentralized E2EE Chat} \hfill \textit{2022 -- 2025}
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*, nosep, topsep=2pt]
\item \small{Led a cross-functional team building Beam, a high-performance cross-platform React Native messenger with end-to-end encryption over a heavily customized decentralized Matrix protocol.}
\item \small{Replaced centralized email/phone auth with Sonr DIDs for passwordless onboarding, abstracting key management into a frictionless ``Web2-grade'' chat experience.}
\end{itemize}
\vspace{4pt}
\textbf{Client SDK \& Motr Enclave} \hfill \textit{2022 -- 2023}
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*, nosep, topsep=2pt]
\item \small{Architected ``Motr,'' a Go-to-WASM cryptographic enclave running in client-side Web Workers, handling MPC, signing, and UCAN token generation without exposing private keys to the main thread.}
\item \small{Built a WebAuthn + OAuth 2.0 auth bridge and an edge orchestration layer on Cloudflare Workers (Durable Objects, KV) for persistent cross-platform sessions.}
\end{itemize}
\vspace{4pt}
\textbf{Layer-1 Blockchain \& Identity} \hfill \textit{2022 -- Present}
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*, nosep, topsep=2pt]
\item \small{Engineered a ``Gasless Onboarding'' pipeline with custom Cosmos AnteHandlers validating WebAuthn passkeys at the mempool level, abstracting away seed phrases and transaction fees.}
\item \small{Designed a capability-based authorization system (UCAN + Decentralized Web Nodes) for granular, delegatable access to IPFS-backed encrypted data vaults.}
\end{itemize}
\vspace{4pt}
\textbf{Core Cryptography Library} \hfill \textit{2022 -- Present}
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*, nosep, topsep=2pt]
\item \small{Implemented Zero-Knowledge Proof systems (Bulletproofs, accumulators) and MPC/DKG protocols (Threshold ECDSA/Ed25519, FROST) for decentralized infrastructure without single points of failure.}
\item \small{Engineered constant-time elliptic curve arithmetic (secp256k1, Ed25519, BLS12-381) hardened against side-channel timing attacks, signature malleability, and nonce reuse.}
\end{itemize}
