Building marketplaces at Uniswap, with a little help from my agent friends.
About
01I'm a product lead at Uniswap, building marketplace infrastructure for one of the largest decentralized exchanges in the world.
Outside of Uniswap, I take on a small handful of build engagements each year with companies whose problems I find interesting. Recently that's meant a recruiting firm building permissioned AI access for non-technical teams, and a family-run moving business rebuilding their quoting system.
The rest of the time I'm tinkering. I live in Seattle with my wife and our cat Lady Bug, and I'm always cooking something up: vibe-coded apps for grocery shopping, AI coaches in Claude to help me get healthier, wealthier, and wiser, new bag clip designs on my 3D printer.
I'm always open to interesting ideas, opportunities, or just meeting interesting people. Let's connect.
