Kernel-bypass networking with AF_XDP
Bypassing the Linux networking stack to eliminate the 10-50µs overhead of packet processing. Where reliability under load actually lives.

Independent architect for regulated capital infrastructure
Infrastructure that moves real money, secured to regulator standard.
Fifteen years inside trading systems and crypto exchanges — nanosecond-class time sync at a $2B+/day exchange, market-making infrastructure across 12 venues, TEE signing measured to the microsecond. I write about how these systems actually behave under load, and take on a small amount of hands-on work.

Antifragile MEV infrastructure
Most MEV systems fail loudly; the rare ones get stronger under stress. The architecture that survives black swans without papering over them.
