I work on blockchain data infrastructure at Allium.
Most of my work is the same problem in different forms: how do you make public, adversarial, often-messy onchain data trustworthy enough for serious people to act on it? That problem pulls in economics, game theory, and a fair amount of plumbing. This site is where I put longer-form work: research, projects, and occasional writing.
