Hi, I'm phil!

I am a Resident in the Cantina Fellowship, and a Security Researcher and Judge in Cantina.

Professional background

I am an expert in corporate finance and a former management consultant. I have over 7 years of professional experience advising CFOs of large corporations on strategy and corporate finance topics.

I am now supporting global finance's move onchain by working on one of the greatest barriers to widespread defi adoption: lacking security.
