Context

I founded the company and led a four-person team as CTO, learning the tokenised-securities and compliance domain from a standing start and reaching a functioning institutional platform in five months — then transitioned to an advisory role pre-launch.

What I built

• Architected and built the platform end to end: a tokenisation engine, automated regulatory compliance, MPC custody and KYC.
• Commissioned and passed security code audits with Halborn.
• Raised $50M in debt financing from Apollo to fund the platform's real-estate strategy.
• Secured the first two institutional clients — real-estate portfolios and family offices — before launch.

How it's built

Security tokens follow the ERC-3643 (T-REX) permissioned-token standard, so transfer eligibility is enforced on-chain against an on-chain identity registry — only KYC'd, whitelisted holders can ever receive a token. Custody uses multi-party computation rather than single-key wallets, removing any single point of compromise. A compliance layer automates the jurisdiction rules, investor caps and lock-ups that a SOCIMI-style institutional structure demands, and the KYC pipeline gates onboarding before any allocation.

The result is a system where regulatory correctness is a property of the code, not a manual process bolted on afterwards — which is exactly what a Halborn audit and an Apollo credit committee want to see.

Outcome

A compliant, audited, institution-ready platform with committed debt capital and signed clients before it ever went live.
