Welcome
Hi, I'm Grant. I design financial systems for institutional operators.
I work with digital asset businesses that have complex products, institutional clients, and regulators who demand rigor. The gap between what the accounting standards say and what blockchain products actually do — that's usually where I feel at home.
I like systems. I like precision. I like when accounting and code actually work together.
My Superpowers
Financial Architecture
Designing GAAP frameworks for products that didn’t exist when the standards were written. Revenue recognition, policy infrastructure, control environments built to survive audit scrutiny at institutional scale.
Automation & Systems
Built systems that eliminated $1M+ in audit labor. Automated reconciliation pipelines, audit prep workflows, and financial reporting infrastructure — production code that runs while the audit proceeds cleanly.
IPO & Institutional Readiness
SOX-ready control environments, audit committee governance, S-1 financial infrastructure. The systems that let digital asset businesses survive public market scrutiny — built before the banker calls, not after.
Production Software
Full-stack systems built in TypeScript, Python, and SQL. Onchain data pipelines, FastAPI backends, Next.js frontends, Supabase databases. I don’t advise on software. I build it.

Nice to Meet You
Beyond the numbers.
I'm curious about how things work — accounting systems, protocol mechanics, software. That curiosity is probably why I ended up at the intersection of institutional finance and crypto infrastructure.
Outside of work I stay sharp with CrossFit (Level 1 Trainer), build production software, and generally prefer systems that can be tested.
