I'm Andrew. Senior Software Engineer at ZKP2P, Former VC-backed Founder.

Current Role

I'm currently a Senior Software Engineer at ZKP2P, where we're building trust-minimized, noncustodial fiat-to-crypto onramps using zkTLS proofs. We're enabling seamless exchanges between any offchain digital asset (like fiat currencies) and onchain assets (like USDC, ETH, SOL) across multiple payment platforms including Venmo, Revolut, Wise, and Cash App.

Recent Leadership Experience

Previously, I was Head of Brava & Engineering Manager at Brava Labs, where we built risk-adjusted yield strategies for DeFi. I led the team that shipped our MVP, which helped us secure £2M in seed funding. Day-to-day, I worked with a cross-functional team of 10, balancing technical implementation with product strategy.

Founder Experience

As the Founder of Galleon DAO, I built automated DeFi strategies that abstracted complexity away from everyday users. We raised $1M+ from investors including 1kx and notable figures like the Bankless founders and Anthony Sassano. I wore many hats - writing smart contracts, building the frontend, hiring our core team of 6, and growing our community to over 6,000 members. At our peak, we managed over $20M in user funds.

0-to-1 Product & Engineering

I've spent 8+ years building in blockchain and fintech, with a particular focus on early-stage products. I enjoy the challenge of going from idea to launch, whether that's founding my own protocol or joining an early team. My background spans both startups and larger companies, where I've led engineering teams of various sizes - from small founding teams to groups of 12+ at enterprise scale.

Industry Experience

My journey in blockchain started at traditional companies like Sky and Worldpay, before moving into the DeFi space with R3 and Set Labs. Each role taught me something different - from building scalable systems to understanding complex financial protocols. This diverse background helps me bridge the gap between technical implementation and business strategy, whether I'm working on smart contracts or planning go-to-market approaches.

In my spare time, I enjoy creating micro apps when I get inspired. For details on my various side projects, please visit my Projects page.
