Driving technology initiatives from roadmap to delivery—working alongside executives to ensure success. Experience in technology investments, vendor selection, digital transformation execution, and building high-performing technology teams. Proven ability to connect business vision with hands-on technology delivery.
Currently developing Veri, a programming language designed for the AI era. Combining formal verification, memory safety, and AI-native design to eliminate entire categories of bugs at compile time.
Amount where self > 0 means negative amounts won't even compile.Will be open-sourced to advance the industry. Compiler built in Rust.
// Types that prevent bugs by design
type Amount = Decimal where self > 0
type Balance = Decimal where self >= 0
fn transfer(from: &Account, to: &Account,
amount: Amount)
requires from.balance >= amount
ensures from.balance == old(from.balance) - amount
ensures to.balance == old(to.balance) + amount
{
from.withdraw(amount) // Can't overdraft
to.deposit(amount) // Proven correct
}This code cannot compile if overdraft is possible. The compiler mathematically proves correctness—no unit tests needed for these guarantees. Imagine eliminating entire categories of payment bugs before deployment.
