Seasoned engineer with 10+ years at the intersection of blockchain and AI/ML, coding primarily in Solidity, Rust, Go, and TypeScript — architecting everything from custom EVM opcode patches to Substrate FRAME pallets and Solana BPF programs.Expert in cryptography — recursive ZK cycles (Plonky2, Plookup, KZG), BLS12-381 FFTs, FROST threshold ECDSA, SPDZ triples, and GPU-accelerated TFHE bootstrapping.On Layer-2 and cross-chain systems, builds ZK rollups, IBC token channels, XCMP routers, and Gossipsub relayers, integrating formal verification (KEVM, Coq, Z3).In AI/ML, runs distributed training (DeepSpeed ZeRO-Offload, NCCL/NVLink, Megatron-LM), writes fused Triton kernels, optimizes XLA HLO, and compresses models via GPTQ + LoRA.Also leads high-performance game development — implementing GGPO rollback lockstep, LZ4 delta compression, Unity DOTS/Burst SIMD, and GPU-driven Boids.Infra & DevOps stack: containerd, gVisor, Cilium eBPF, Bazel, Argo, Prometheus, Grafana Tempo, Nix flakes, Foundry, Hardhat.
- Built Ouranos, a dual-DAG ledger solving decentralization, security, and scalability simultaneously.
- Introduced Proof of Compartments and Layers (PoCL) — novel consensus mechanism designed for high-throughput sub-second finality.
- Designed quantum-resistant cryptographic systems anchored to the protocol's identity + settlement layers.
- Built the MVP that raised $3M seed for the company.
- Led play-to-earn esports platform reaching 150M+ transactions, 99.99% uptime, and 35% faster transaction throughput vs. baseline.
- Owned platform engineering across matchmaking, tournament-bracket engine, mobile + web clients.
- Developed NFT marketplace smart contracts and full backend integrations on Solana.
- Authored Solana BPF programs with deterministic execution paths + zero-allocation hot loops.
- Delivered DeFi, DEX, and DApp infrastructures with 20% efficiency gains and 30% speed improvements over prior baselines.
- Oversaw production systems processing 160M+ transactions at 99.98% uptime.
- Developed decentralized systems for privacy, autonomy, and data security in Google Experimental Projects.
- Contributed to system performance, stability, and feature enhancements across flagship Google products.
- Managed automation projects end-to-end, increasing client satisfaction by 25%.
