Thrilled to announce I’ve joined @Corkprotocol as CTO.
After a great run working for top web3 projects, traveling to conferences, and winning hackathons, it’s clear where I want to focus: bringing TradFi onchain.
🧵 Let me share what convinced me to join Cork (+ we are hiring)
What makes me especially excited to build Cork is the market growth for tokenized assets. We’re entering a new phase of scale:
• real world assets: $3B → $25B in 3 years,
• stablecoins: $260B total market,
• vault protocols like @MorphoLabs & @veda_labs: triple-digit growth
As DeFi is rapidly becoming TradFi’s technology backbone, this transition needs to happen with the same rigor, transparency, and automation that underpin traditional financial markets.
Cork is the solution, serving as a programmable risk layer for onchain assets such as vault tokens, yield-bearing stablecoins, and liquid (re)staking tokens.
Prior to joining Cork, I cofounded and was the CTO of @Nefture, a security product aiming to protect DeFi. Through this experience, I came to deeply understand one of the biggest challenges of DeFi, security.
More recently, I expanded my horizon and worked on:
• building a DeFi locker on Linea with @StakeDAOHQ,
• building a secure reward distribution system on Arbitrum with @cedelabs,
• analyzing Permit2 phishing scams with @RevokeCash,
• auditing an ERC4626 vault for @trumarket_tech,
• building UniV4 hooks at UHI @AtriumAcademy
• won 6 hackathons (@ETHGlobal, @alephhackathon), with projects actively developed like PolySwap (grant by @CoWSwap) and @BackupBuddy_io, well on its way to make wallet recovery secure and accessible,
• attended confs and popup cities, making amazing friends and deepening my understanding of the ambitious vision for @Ethereum. Best examples being @Zuitzerland where I spent a month learning about d/acc.
It’s this journey, when meeting @robdogeth at @EthCC, that allowed me to understand the important and inevitable vision of @Corkprotocol.
I’m incredibly excited to contribute to Cork’s vision of institutional-grade risk management for onchain finance.
The next trillion in liquidity will require transparent risk layers, and that’s what we’re here to build.
We’re working on cutting-edge DeFi and building a top-tier team. This is why I’m excited to be building here. If this is interesting to you, come build with me. We’ll be hiring a senior smart-contract developer to support our build (see link in the comments).
