I was the Head of DeFi Research at Polygon. At Polygon, I also led the R&D and incubation of innovative blockchain primitives and co-authored the whitepaper of Polygon 2.0. I have authored multiple papers on the topics of zero knowledge proofs, privacy, novel design and risk assessment of DeFi protocols and crypto economics.

I am an active advisor and speaker in the blockchain community, and has served as a technical advisor for several blockchain startups.
