What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build scalable, production-ready systems end-to-end—clean architecture, strong code quality, and measurable performance. I want to work with teams that value reliability and shipping, with opportunities to apply AI/DeFi and evolve into senior ownership.

I’m a Full-Stack Engineer with 3+ years shipping production applications across the stack—from responsive React/Next.js frontends to high-throughput Go and Node.js backends. I focus on clean architecture, code quality, and performant software that reliably scales.

In my current work, I’m contributing to AI research at iCog Labs on the Hyperion MOSES project, porting MOSES into the Hyperon AGI framework using MeTTa. I’m studying and implementing core concepts like metapopulation search, representation building, knob-based program variation, and reduction to an elegant normal form.

I’ve also built and led live systems end-to-end, including a parimutuel prediction market platform taken from zero to live on Base Sepolia testnet in under 2 months. From automated on-chain transaction logic to LLM decision pipelines and multi-agent execution (ClawdBot), I deliver scalable REST APIs, microservice architectures, and transaction pipelines in real environments.
