Summary
I am now focused on defining and building Obscuro, a confidential smart contract L2 network for Ethereum. Previously, as the Chief Engineer of R3 I also helped design Corda, a strong-identity distributed ledger platform for financial services, and sat on R3's executive and risk committees. I was also the first Director of the Corda Network Foundation. Previously, I was Chief Engineer within Corporate Banking at Barclays, where I designed and delivered core banking systems. Earlier I worked in a Japanese bulldozer factory for 4 years and then co-founded 2 startups, and hold various patents. I was a Chartered Electrical Engineer and hold a degree in Engineering Science from University College, Durham, UK.

Obscuro is developing a decentralised Ethereum protocol designed to achieve data confidentiality while maintaining the benefits of a public blockchain network. In doing so it aims to open a new world of use cases on Ethereum such as private NFTs, dark pool trading, gaming, sealed auctions, KYC and more.

I evaluated the intersection of DeFi with institutional and regulated finance alongside a small team of very talented engineers and business people. We settled on building out Obsuro (https://obscu.ro), a privacy-preserving Ethereum L2 rollup network which uses R3's Conclave confidential computing know-how to encrypt Ethereum smart contracts. I continued to sit on R3's executive board.
