Welcome!
I'm Peter, a researcher and engineer. I'm broadly interested in theoretical & applied machine learning, decision making, and statistics.
I've built state-of-the-art browser agents, high-performance blockchain infrastructure, and researched cryptography at venture-backed startups and in academic settings.

Bio
I'm currently a founding engineer at Composite, where I'm building autonomous agents for the browser.
Previously, I spent about 2 years exploring high-performance blockchain infrastructure and cryptography at a venture-backed startup.
I also researched meta-heuristic optimization algorithms for a DARPA project at Scientific Systems.
In the past, I've:
- Mapped relationships between post-quantum cryptographic-hardness assumptions with Prof. Ariel Hamlin
- Co-founded a web development company
- Taught Object Oriented Design (CS 3500) and Software Engineering (CS 4530) at Northeastern for a semester
