As Founder and Chief Architect, I've helped steered Topl from its inception as an idea to one of Texas's leading blockchain startups. Together with our CEO & CTO, I lead the design of the only impact and sustainability focused blockchain in the world and engage with partners and clients across 6 continents. Before starting Topl, I obtained degrees in Mathematics, Chemical Physics, and Philosophy from Rice University. During my time at university, I performed research resulting in 3 co-authored papers focused on emergent phenomena in complex systems and developed many of the models that would come to define Topl's blockchain approach.
