00 / Introduction

Founder · Engineer · Systems builder

I build systems where correctness and performance both matter.

I'm the founder of MorphIQ Labs, where we run a research-to-runtime program: methods that are correct on paper, kept correct in production. Quantitative finance is where we prove it.

01 / Now

Present work

Turning research into production systems.

My current focus is MorphIQ Labs: original research, papers, and canonical methods translated into proof-gated, benchmarked Rust infrastructure—and then assembled into products for options research and trade workflows.

The program is not specific to markets. It applies wherever a result has to survive contact with a running system, and where assumptions, tolerances, and edge cases have to hold under real time and real load. Quantitative finance is the least forgiving place to run it, which is why we prove it there first.

We build AI-first, which makes the engineering program more important, not less. Human- and machine-written work passes the same reference checks, proof boundaries, and performance floors before it ships.

Working standards

What I measure the work against.

Keep the math intact.

Research carries assumptions, tolerances, and edge cases. The implementation should carry them too.

Make behavior reconstructible.

Important outputs should retain enough time, state, and provenance to explain how they came to be.

Treat performance as a contract.

Latency belongs in the specification alongside correctness, auditability, and repeatability.

If the work gives us something to discuss, I'd like to hear from you.
