I’m the Founder and CEO of Azura Technologies, Inc. (ATI), providing the core technology and services for the Azura Trading Platform. We’ve raised from Initialized Capital, the Winklevoss Twins, and the co-founder of Solana, Raj Gokal. I’m also a Thiel Fellow.

Prior to ATI, 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.
