Capstone shipped: the DeFi Lending Allocator Agent, non-custodial gas-aware USDC routing across six Ethereum lending venues, deployed on Google Cloud Run. Reproducible replay reports 5.36% net APY against 4.85% for the best-in-hindsight passive hold, over 313 allocation switches with gas costs accounted for. The ML tier lost out-of-sample and is published as a negative result.
Details →Admitted to the University of Nicosia's MSc in Blockchain and Digital Currency with a Ripple Scholarship.
Public service at revert.pro scoring the roughly 95% of Ethereum mainnet that ships unverified, where source-based tools return nothing. XGBoost over EVM bytecode features, trained on 117,091 Slither-labelled contracts; F1 0.948 agreement with Slither, 95% CI [0.944, 0.951]. Retrocast: Nomad and Curve pETH flagged red before the hacks, Euler missed. Triage, not audit.
Details →Completed both tracks of Mastering Web3, the University of Nicosia's open online course on blockchain, DeFi, NFTs, CBDCs and tokenized assets — the advanced-track exam with a score of 100. The certificates are anchored to Bitcoin and verifiable at verify.unic.ac.cy.
Foundations of Applying AI Technologies in Learning and Research — a 36-academic-hour programme at Yandex Educational Technologies, February to April 2026.
Five-day research intensive on autonomous LLM agents at the Yandex School of Data Analysis, April 2026. Directly adjacent to the on-chain allocation agents I build and run.
When Retrieval Hurts reports a sample-size sign reversal in naive RAG for Solidity vulnerability detection: plus 2.0% Macro-F1 at n=100 flips to minus 2.7% at n=250 on SolidiFI. The second preprint designs an AI-managed ERC-4626 vault with MCDM scoring, EIP-712 signed decisions, 67 unit tests and over 76,800 invariant calls with no violations. Both CC BY 4.0.
Details →A 72-hour programme on compliance for digital assets: FATF standards and the Travel Rule, KYC/KYT procedures, laundering typologies, on-chain investigation, and VASP compliance operations. Run by SHARD with Talent Valley at the MSU Innovation Science and Technology Centre.
Details →Domain-aware dual-branch recurrent network for high-frequency mid-price prediction, posted to figshare under CC BY 4.0. Weighted Pearson 0.266 across 12,165 sequences over 12.1 million timesteps from the Wunder Fund RNN challenge; it beats LightGBM on 58.3% of sequences. Two negative findings are reported: feature sufficiency, and degradation from ensembling.
Details →Awarded by WorldQuant University after completing the first two courses of the MSc in Financial Engineering.
Certificate for the capstone of the Google and Kaggle 5-Day AI Agents Intensive, autumn 2025. The capstone, MetaMaestro, is a multi-agent orchestrator on Google ADK spanning four domains and more than ten specialised agents.
