- Senior Software EngineerVega ProtocolSep 2021 - Nov 2024 (3 years 3 months)Core developer for the Vega procotol, a decentrazlied derivatives exchange built as a app-chain on top of the tendermint/cometbft consensus layer. I was a vital member of a small team taking the network from its testnet through to its mainnet launch.
Working closely with researchers and quants I developed a novel hybrid orderbook that allowed a traditional clob to overlay multiple uniswap V3 style vAMMs. This allowed a new market's liquidity to be bootstrapped by retail users defining and providing capital to a vAMM, while still allowing sophisticated algorithmic traders to run their orderbook based strategies.

Working primarily in the blending team I introduced new geometric algorithms such surfaces generation for apex-range chamfer, tracking of blend-like regions on mesh surfaces, and the extension of blend-like mesh surfaces. I also improved existing algorithms such as G2 blend robustness, greatly increasing the ability to detect regions of a surface along an embedded curve, and bringing the performance of all blending operations to under 1s.
