Working at the intersection of decentralized systems and the life sciences.
About
I hold a BSc and spend my time at the boundary between decentralized systems and the life sciences. My work touches DeFi protocol mechanics, bioinformatics pipelines, and the search for meaningful biomarkers in complex biological data.
I'm drawn to systems — financial and biological — where the underlying rules create emergent behavior that matters. This site is where I collect and share that work: project missions, technical writing, and ideas I'm still turning over.

In progress
PANOPTES
The problem — Cardano's lending ecosystem is growing but fragmented. There was no single place to answer the most basic investor questions: where is capital deployed, which positions are approaching liquidation, and what does the aggregate debt picture look like?

Concept
GAIA
The problem — Existing bioinformatics tools assume you can write code. For researchers coming from wet lab backgrounds, that assumption shuts the door entirely. I was one of those researchers, and I refused to accept that as a permanent limitation.

Multi-Organ Injury Panel
A comprehensive literature review of the μ-calpain protease mechanism and its use alongside organ-specific biomarkers for precise diagnosis of multi-organ injury.
