{\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{Led development of a peer-to-peer identity system built on decentralized identifiers (DIDs), WebAuthn, and IPFS, securing \$4.7M to build the platform.}
\item \small{Shaped global web standards as a W3C Working Group Member for DIDs, WebAuthn, and WebAssembly (WASM), and as a DIF member for UCAN/DWN.}
\end{itemize}
\vspace{6pt}
{\bfseries Projects}\\[2pt]
\rule{\linewidth}{0.4pt}\\[4pt]
\textbf{Core Cryptography Library} \hfill \textit{2022 -- Present}
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*, nosep, topsep=2pt]
\item \small{Implemented Zero-Knowledge Proof systems --- Bulletproofs (range and inner-product proofs) and cryptographic accumulators --- using the Fiat-Shamir heuristic for non-interactive verification.}
\item \small{Designed MPC and Distributed Key Generation protocols (Threshold ECDSA/Ed25519, FROST, Gennaro) for decentralized infrastructure without single points of failure.}
\item \small{Engineered constant-time elliptic curve arithmetic (secp256k1, Ed25519, BLS12-381, NIST P-Curves) hardened against side-channel timing attacks, signature malleability, and nonce reuse.}
\item \small{Hardened security with AES-GCM authenticated encryption and Argon2id key derivation, backed by exhaustive automated security tests, race-condition checks, and benchmarks.}
\end{itemize}
\vspace{4pt}
\textbf{Motr Cryptographic 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 (Passkeys/Biometrics) + OAuth 2.0 authentication bridge enabling passwordless, seed-phrase-free onboarding directly within the SDK.}
\end{itemize}

\rule{\linewidth}{0.4pt}\\[4pt]
\textbf{B.S. in Applied Math} \hfill \textit{2016 -- 2020}\\
