What I'm looking for

Fintech, Blockchain, Financial markets, Trading software, infrastructure. generally anything Financial infra related makes me tism.

Backend engineer with seven years of experience building high-performance infrastructure, automation systems, and decentralized-finance products. Currently at bunq, where I own cryptocurrency integration and have shipped many user facing features. Previously at Autonomy Network, I built on-chain backtesting tools for leveraged delta-neutral liquidity pools, managed AWS infrastructure, and developed production trading bots. My work sits at the intersection of traditional backend architecture, blockchain protocols, and financial systems.

I'm deeply interested in the evolving structure of financial markets. At Wallex, I ran Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tron nodes and built withdrawal and rebalancing services — work that gave me a solid understanding of exchange infrastructure and settlement mechanics. I also wrote and deployed Solidity smart contracts and contributed to an NFT marketplace at Sonido.io, where I managed a small team of developers.

I write software with the right tools for the job, always with an eye on monitoring, and production stability. I'm looking for opportunities where capital markets, derivatives, and blockchain infrastructure converge — building the plumbing that makes DeFi reliable, composable, and efficient.
