I’m the Founder and CEO of Azura, a trading platform that unifies onchain markets into a single interface. We’ve facilitated over $1B in trading volume and raised from Initialized Capital, the Winklevoss Twins, and the co-founder of Solana, Raj Gokal. I’m also a Thiel Fellow.

Prior to Azura, I created Thunder, the first onchain trading terminal, helping establish a now multi-billion dollar category. I operated it under the alias “Veritas,” and led the response to a third-party exploit, making affected users whole.

I studied Economics and Data Science at the University of Chicago on a full-ride scholarship before leaving to build full-time. While there, I bootstrapped Analytica Group, a capital markets data analytics provider, to over $650k in ARR from my dorm room.

Earlier, I started D.P.E., managing nearly $750k in capital for friends and family, and spent a summer at Neuberger Berman.

In a past life, I was an experimental filmmaker and a bedroom prop trader, focusing on digital assets like CS:GO skins, TF2 hats, Runescape gold, sneaker bot keys, and cryptocurrencies.
