Case Studies

Deeper write-ups on the systems I have architected and shipped. Problem, constraints, architecture, what I owned, the outcome, and the tradeoffs I would make differently today.

Morpher Wallet: A Chain-Agnostic Signer at 681k Scale

2020 - Present

CTO at Morpher Labs

Why we shipped a self-custodial web wallet that doesn't know what chain it's on, and how the RPC-intercepting signer architecture made it work for ~681k accounts across every EVM chain we ever integrated.

A Custom Plasma L2 With In-House Validators

2020 - 2023

CTO at Morpher Labs

Why we ran our own Plasma sidechain at Morpher in 2020, what 1-second blocks bought us, what they cost us, and how we eventually consolidated onto Polygon and Base when the L2 ecosystem matured.

A High-Frequency Tick-Data Pipeline at Sub-500ms Latency

2020 - Present

CTO at Morpher Labs

How we aggregated 8 disparate market-data sources at 1 to 2k messages per second average, 10k peak, with 100% retention and end-to-end latency under 500 milliseconds, and what we learned about choosing boring tools for a hot path.

A Permissionless Stablecoin With a Post-Quantum STARK Verification Path

2024 - Present

CTO and Co-Founder at Permissionless Inc

Architecting a non-freezable stablecoin protocol with a dual SNARK-and-STARK privacy layer: BLS12-381 SNARKs on the hot path for real 128-bit security, post-quantum STARKs as the vault layer, verified through SP1 wrapping today with a clean upgrade path to native STARK verification when Ethereum supports it.

Soldebug: A Rust-Native Solidity Transaction Debugger

2026 - Present

Author at Independent

Replaying real transactions against a forked chain to produce stack traces with function calls, arguments, custom errors, and revert reasons. Built on REVM and Alloy because the Foundry-aligned ecosystem rewards Rust.
