Cryptographer, security architect, and systems builder. Co-founder & CEO of Prufold Labs.

I work on making computation verifiable, private, and accountable, with a particular focus on AI agents and autonomous systems.

At Prufold Labs, I am building infrastructure for verifiable AI execution and agent security: enforcing policies, attesting execution environments, and producing evidence that can be independently checked.

Our work includes ClawCheck, with a focus on runtime policy enforcement, attested execution, and tamper-evident records of agent activity.

The aim is to make cryptographic assurance practical for developers, without requiring every team to become a cryptography research group.

• Cryptography and privacy: zero-knowledge proofs, multiparty computation, fully homomorphic encryption, and protocol design.
• AI and systems security: trusted execution environments, remote attestation, formal verification, agent security, and distributed systems.
• Compute infrastructure: GPU and FPGA acceleration, high-performance networking, and the engineering trade-offs behind verifiable compute.

My background spans medicine, mathematics, and graduate study in cryptography, with more than 20 years across security, financial infrastructure, distributed systems, and emerging technologies.

Previously, I co-founded Panther Protocol, serving as CTO and Chief Scientist. Earlier work includes advising Ripple, contributing to Ethereum Swarm, and security architecture across banking and enterprise systems.

Alongside applied engineering, my interests include AI safety, robotics, philosophy, and the foundations of trustworthy autonomous systems.
