I run quant research and protocol engineering at Velocity Exchange (previously Drift Protocol), where I work on the exchange's economics, our in-house market maker (vAMM), and the core protocol.
Before Drift I was a research engineer at Asgard Finance, where I modelled liquidations, did AMM research and built an onchain terminal. I was also a Solana Foundation fellow in 2024. My full CV is here .
Research
Depositing more should not earn lessWhen depositing more into a lending pool can lower your income, and which rate curves rule it out. Live Drift markets break it at least one hour in nine.
arXiv
Impermanent loss in a DLMMOnly crossed liquidity drives the loss, and for uniform liquidity it grows quadratically with the number of bins crossed.
Paper
Liquidity ranges in concentrated AMMsAt equal starting capital, the tightest Uniswap v3 range supplies 5.8 times the liquidity near the starting price and loses about three times as much against holding.

Get in touch
I enjoy talking about DeFi and hearing what other people are working on. If you'd like to discuss some research, build something together, or think I'd be a good fit for your team, send me an email or DM me on X . Always happy to chat.
