Core Innovations & Technical Leadership

1. Multi-Layer Authentication Framework

• Designs hybrid verification systems integrating:

  • Biometric signatures: AI analysis of creator-specific digital brushstrokes and stylistic fingerprints

  • Temporal proof: Blockchain timestamps correlated with independent internet archives (e.g., Wayback Machine)

  • Material DNA: Encrypted hardware fingerprints from artists' devices (GPUs, tablets)

2. Decentralized Provenance Tracking

• Implements smart contract-based lineage records that:

  • Automatically log every transfer, exhibition, and restoration event

  • Embed curator/expert validation signatures

  • Detect spoofed metadata through cross-chain consistency checks

3. Fraud Detection AI

• Trains deep learning models to identify:

  • Generative forgeries: GAN-generated works masquerading as human-created

  • Metadata tampering: Altered creation dates or hidden minting wallets

  • Fake editions: Unauthorized duplicates of limited-series NFTs

Career Milestones

• Developed the ArtChain Certify protocol now used by 3 major NFT platforms (OpenSea, Foundation, SuperRare)

• Exposed the "Digital Dali" forgery ring (2024), recovering $2.3M in fraudulent sales

• Pioneered the first W3C-standard NFT Provenance Metadata schema
