# about
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Purpose
|
||||||
|
Identity, contact, education, and recognition — the role-independent blocks shared by every résumé variant. (Consolidates what older docs called `information/` + `recognition/`.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Key Files
|
||||||
|
| File | Description |
|
||||||
|
|------|-------------|
|
||||||
|
| `profile.yml` | Name, contact (email/phone/website/linkedin/github/twitter), and per-role `summary` entries used as the résumé header blurb. |
|
||||||
|
| `education.yml` | VCU, Applied Mathematics (2017–2020), coursework skills, `activities`, and refs to school-era `projects`. |
|
||||||
|
| `honors.yml` | List of honors (e.g. MIT Sloan guest lecture) — feeds the Honors block. |
|
||||||
|
| `organizations.yml` | Standards-body memberships (W3C, DIF) — feeds the Organizations block. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## For AI Agents
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Working In This Directory
|
||||||
|
- `honors.yml` and `organizations.yml` are top-level YAML *lists* of objects, not maps — keep that shape.
|
||||||
|
- `education.yml` `projects:` uses relative refs into `../projects/`. Keep valid.
|
||||||
|
- `profile.yml` `summary` is a list of `{role, summary}` — one tailored blurb per résumé variant; match a new variant's title here.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Testing Requirements
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('<file>.yml'))"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Dependencies
|
||||||
|
### Internal
|
||||||
|
- Consumed by `../../src/*.tex` (Contact / Honors / Organizations / Education blocks, identical across variants) by hand.

|

## Purpose
|

|
One YAML file per employer — the canonical record of each role Prad has held. Templates draw experience bullets from here; nothing is generated.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Key Files
|
||||||
|
| File | Description |
|
||||||
|
|------|-------------|
|
||||||
|
| `sonr.yml` | Co-Founder / CEO at Sonr (2021–). Richest entry — DIDs, WebAuthn, Matrix, Cosmos L1, fundraising. Lists 7 project refs. |
|
||||||
|
| `britetwist.yml` | Consumer mobile work (1M+ downloads era). |
|
||||||
|
| `leidos.yml` | Defense/government engineering. |
|
||||||
|
| `hobsons.yml` | Earlier engineering role. |
|
||||||
|
| `unissant.yml` | Earlier engineering role. |
|
||||||

## For AI Agents

|

|
### Working In This Directory
|
||||||
|
- `projects:` and any cross-refs use relative paths (`../projects/<name>.yml`). Keep valid on rename/move.
|
||||||
|
- Skill names must match the canonical spelling used elsewhere (`Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs)`, `WebAssembly (WASM)`) so they dedupe across files.
|
||||||
|
- `description` bullets are the raw pool; templates condense them to fit one page — do not assume verbatim use.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Testing Requirements

||||||
|
```bash
|

|
||||||
|
description: |
|
||||||
|
- Founded the startup and successfully led executive fundraising efforts, securing $4.7M in capital to build a peer-to-peer identity and asset management system leveraging decentralized identifiers (DIDs), WebAuthn, and IPFS.
|
||||||
|
- Directed technical strategy across 7 full-time staff (including a technical writer) and two specialist agencies — a 6-person token-economics team and a 6-engineer mobile team — with all reporting lines direct to CEO, co-developing a React Native mobile chat application powered by the decentralized Matrix protocol.
|
||||||
|
- Architected a custom Layer 1 blockchain using the Cosmos SDK, optimizing data serialization and network communication with Protobufs.
|
||||||
|
- Operated the Sonr Testnet across 4 geographically distributed validator nodes (San Francisco, New York, Virginia, Asia) with 4+ environments and 4 distinct validator profiles secured via KMS, sustaining 99% operational uptime; ran the initial DevNet on Google Cloud and orchestrated Beam's self-hosted Matrix homeserver with Ansible, alongside Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform infrastructure.
|
||||||
|
- Drove massive open-source community growth, achieving the 4th highest global GitHub contributions (Oct 2021 – Oct 2022) for the platform's MVP, and successfully onboarding over 120 first-time blockchain developers to the Motor SDKs during DevNet.
|
||||||
|
- Actively shaped global web standards as a W3C Working Group Member for DIDs, WebAuthn, and WebAssembly (WASM); implemented the DID specification to full spec compliance and built the first W3C-conformant WebAuthn implementation tied to DIDs recorded on a blockchain, enabling passkey-based wallet identity.
|
||||||
|
- Pivoted the company to B2B (2026), leading customer discovery for a white-label wallet system positioned as an open-source alternative to Privy, while winding down consumer operations.

Directed the comprehensive token economic design for the Sonr Network, collaborating directly with 6 PhD economists from Prysm Group to architect a sustainable, highly secure Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) ecosystem.
|
||||||
|
- Architected the core financial model and token mechanics, defining critical macroeconomic parameters including dynamic token allocation, circulating supply schedules, token velocity, and staking reward emissions to maximize long-term fundamental value.
|
||||||
|
- Designed the on-chain governance and utility flow, establishing robust mechanisms for protocol voting, validator reputation scoring, and decentralized treasury/grant management. Modeled these frameworks using empirical data and opportunity cost analyses against major networks like Uniswap, Compound, and Algorand.
|
||||||
|
- Aligned protocol incentives with network security, structuring the token to act as a seamless means of payment across Sonr's Highway modules, registries, and buckets, while ensuring validators are properly incentivized to maintain decentralization via Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC).
|
||||||
|
- Bridged academic theory and engineering execution, successfully translating complex economic models—such as price shock absorption, lockup vesting, and subsidy schedules—into actionable smart contract and Layer-1 state machine logic.
