Engineer. Investor. Writer.
About
I build the Base chain in Rust at Base. Outside of that, I'm a deep value investor — I write about fallen angels, temporarily disliked companies, and businesses the market has written off. I also angel invest; reach out on X.
You can find my writing at substack and my code at github.com/refcell.
