Interests: DeFi; building with LLMs; systems that learn via evolution and adaptation with applications to algorithmic trading and agent-based decision systems.
Oracle-Anchored LVR Recapture with Selective Dutch Auctions
TL;DR. AMM design for recapturing loss-versus-rebalancing by anchoring pool prices to an oracle and selectively routing arbitrage through Dutch auctions, improving LP outcomes while preserving efficient price discovery.
Evolving Deep Learning Optimizers
TL;DR. Evolutionary framework that discovers novel deep learning optimizers by combining primitive gradient operators; produces hybrid update rules that outperform AdamW in low-data regimes.
Genetic Algorithm for Optimal User Order Routing
TL;DR. Multi-objective evolutionary solver (NSGA-II hybrid) for CoW Protocol batch auctions that balances user surplus, gas, slippage and risk under tight deadlines; outperforms deterministic baselines on small-medium orders and converges within ~0.5s median.

Alpha Router — Evolutionary solver
Implementation of my published hybrid genetic algorithm (NSGA-II + deterministic refinement) for CoW Protocol batch auctions. Handles multi-objective optimization, including surplus, gas, slippage, and risk, under tight latency constraints; deployed as a production-ready routing engine.

evo-optimizer — Evolutionary optimizer discovery for ML
PyTorch framework that evolves new update rules by combining primitive gradient operators, including sign-grad, momentum, and normalization terms. Produces hybrid optimizers that outperform AdamW in low-data regimes and accelerate convergence across CIFAR-10, MNIST, and Fashion-MNIST.
