What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering or tech-lead roles building secure, cloud-native distributed platforms (privacy, blockchain, ML) with technical ownership and mentoring opportunities.

I am a Senior Software Engineer and Tech Lead with 10+ years designing and delivering distributed systems, privacy computing platforms, and blockchain protocols. I have deep expertise in Golang and cloud-native technologies (Kubernetes), led platform architecture migrations, optimized core algorithms, and drove production-grade performance improvements such as a targeted 40% scalability gain and 25% computation cost reduction.

I have led cross-functional R&D across MPC protocols, TEE environments (Occlum), and multi-cloud deployments, and contributed to open-source blockchain projects, filed a blockchain patent, and shipped high-throughput systems (6000+ TPS). I mentor engineers, make final technical decisions, and build secure, scalable systems that integrate microservices, gRPC, Kubernetes Operators/CRDs, and data-consistent storage solutions.
