At Supra, I replaced MDBX with a custom RocksDB-backed Merkle Patricia Trie for RETH, improving RocksDB state-update throughput by 2.8×. I also re-architected a relay pipeline with Tokio task pools and bounded concurrency, reducing median latency from 432s to 55s.

I authored SupraNova Watcher, an anomaly detection service for the bridge, and built OpenTelemetry-based observability infrastructure. I’ve also worked on Rust GPU compute at Chiral Inc. and Verkle tree and transaction architecture improvements at Nethermind.
