Freelance developer · Crypto infrastructure for institutional finance
I build the bridge between crypto and traditional finance. Blockchain projects and prediction markets move fast and were built for retail; institutional investors move carefully and need far more before they commit capital. I build what closes that gap: reliable pricing, risk analytics, auditable execution and clear reporting, so that crypto products can meet the standards of conservative funds and allocators. My background is in machine learning, AI and financial modelling, and I study Information Engineering at Cambridge.
