I build risk models for on-chain lending, hardware that teaches, and Presto.

I'm a computer engineering and economics student at the University of Michigan and a co-founder of Presto, which finds music royalties that the MLC and SoundExchange hold for the wrong party, or for nobody, and claims them.

Most of my other work is risk modelling for DeFi lending. I replayed Coinbase's $1.6B Morpho loan book through seven crash paths (Spine), stress-tested stop-loss buffers on Aave and Morpho for Summer.fi, and did competitive and on-chain analysis for OpenEden. Before that I built a pothole-mapping drone in Bulawayo that placed second at ZITF and was presented to the President of Zimbabwe, and an 8-bit computer from 200+ TTL chips that I used to teach 30 students.

Born in Los Angeles, raised in Zimbabwe.
