CISO & Head of Tokenization at tZERO Group, Inc. — building at the intersection of Web3, blockchain security, and cybersecurity. Founder of h0neyb0t LLC.
Currently pursuing a PhD in Cybersecurity with a blockchain security focus at Dakota State University. My work spans secure software development lifecycles, smart contract security, real-world asset tokenization, and threat intelligence across multiple blockchain networks.
I design and build the tools and infrastructure that secure on-chain value — from private permissioned blockchains to multi-chain tokenization platforms and AI-powered security monitoring.
