Hi, I'm Alex

I lead digital asset products where custody, risk, and execution matter.

Wallets • Custody • Transaction Systems • Governance

Alex Yaghoubi

Ownership

What I Own

End-to-end responsibility for the parts of the system that move money and create risk.

  • How assets move

  • Who can sign and when

  • What happens when things fail

  • How systems stay compliant under scale

Decision-making

How I Think

I design for the real world: incidents, constraints, and compliance — not demos.

  • Failure modes before happy paths

  • Operational reality over diagrams

  • Governance as a design constraint, not an afterthought

Track record

Selected Outcomes

Representative results from building and operating real-money infrastructure.

  • Multi-layer custody systems (hot / warm / cold / vault)

  • Asset infrastructure supporting 150+ tokens

  • Transaction pipelines designed for 24/7 operations

  • Real-time monitoring & incident ownership

ScopeCustody • Wallets • Pipelines
Cadence24/7 operations
Scale150+ assets supported
PostureIncident-owned delivery

Outcomes are measured in survivability: degraded modes, recovery paths, and operational clarity when things break.

Field notes

Notes from building real-money systems

Short ideas I keep returning to when designing custody, wallets, and irreversible flows.

Custody is a product problem, not a security problem

Why most wallet architectures fail under scale

Governance is part of the UX - institutions just don't call it that

Designing transaction systems you can't roll back

Framework

Observation → Tension → Decision → Trade-off

Speed vs custody safety isn't a technical trade-off. It's a product decision with operational consequences.
