Summary
Pri Patel is a Co-Founder and DeFi risk engineer with nine years of experience building yield strategies and risk infrastructure for institutional on-chain treasuries. At ThirdGuard he leads protocol due diligence, portfolio construction, and operational design for delta-neutral, stETH-centric, and stablecoin carry strategies, emphasizing risk-adjusted returns and counterparty resilience. Earlier, he ran a DeFi prop fund trading stablecoin arbitrage and cross-chain MEV and previously built a solo full‑stack property management platform, giving him both trading instincts and end-to-end engineering chops. He combines hands-on infrastructure work (TypeScript, Rust, AWS) with multisig operations and real-world risk frameworks, often translating complex protocol risks into auditable allocation rules. Based in England with a legal background (LLB), he brings a pragmatic, compliance-aware lens to decentralized finance.
