I’m a Full-stack Blockchain Engineer building systems where code directly controls capital, execution, and coordination.
I spend most of my time at the intersection of DeFi infrastructure, restaking (EigenLayer), and AI-driven agents, working on products that ship to mainnet and operate under real economic constraints.
I like hard problems, unclear specs, and systems where correctness matters more than clever abstractions.
I worked on TriggerX, a decentralized automation network built on EigenLayer, securing $2B+ TVR.
My focus was designing Solidity smart contracts, Go-based execution engines, and backend coordination logic for trustless cross-chain task execution.
This meant dealing with failure modes, slashing-aligned incentives, operator coordination, and production reliability.
OmniKit is an npm-based toolkit I built to make cross-chain smart contract deployment simple and repeatable.
It enables one-command deployments across multiple EVM chains and is currently used by 500+ developers.
With YieldAgent AI, I explored how LLMs can translate natural language intent into verifiable onchain actions.
The system integrates AI with Solana (Rust/Anchor) to execute DeFi actions safely, abstracting complexity without hiding risk.
I built McVault, a cross-chain ERC-4626 vault system that allocates capital across protocols like Renzo, Morpho, and Silo to optimize yield.
The project placed 3rd at ETHGlobal Superhack 2024 and taught me a lot about accounting, edge cases, and safety-first design.
- Real systems fail in production, not in diagrams
- Safety and clear invariants beat clever optimizations
- Backend, smart contracts, and UX are one system, not separate layers
- Small decisions compound quickly when money is involved
I’m comfortable owning systems end-to-end, making trade-offs, and iterating in production.
