What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead AI-enabled engineering, drive adoption of spec-driven practices, build secure fintech/Web3 systems, and mentor teams in a collaborative, product-focused culture.

I am a Principal Software Engineer with deep experience building AI-driven engineering teams, backend systems, and Web3 integrations for fintech and enterprise products. I have led engineering and product teams to deliver crowdfunding platforms, real-world asset liquidity pools, and observability solutions.

My work emphasizes Spec Driven and Agile AI development, automated compliance, and reliable infrastructure — from node.js and FastAPI backends to Chainlink oracles, Balancer V3 integrations, and serverless/cloud deployments. I have delivered production systems that improved onboarding UX and on-chain liquidity efficiency and implemented robust transaction lifecycle guarantees.

I enjoy creating developer efficiency tools, agentic systems, and composable automation that reduce operational friction and enable teams to adopt AI safely and effectively. I'm driven to build pragmatic, secure systems that translate complex financial and technical requirements into reliable product outcomes.
