What I'm looking for

I want to build AI/crypto/fintech products that are fast, real-time, and reliable—working end-to-end from 0 to 1 with modern frontend architecture and strong engineering practices.

Full-stack engineer with 8 years of experience building high-performance finance and DeFi products across trading, developer tools, and consumer-facing applications. I design and deliver end-to-end solutions—from 0 to 1 in early-stage startups to global financial institutions—focused on performant, real-time systems and modern frontend architecture.

In recent roles as a Senior Software Engineer at Nomina and Avara (behind the Aave protocol), I’ve worked across TypeScript, React/React Native, Node.js, and Web3 tooling, including Ethereum and Interop. Earlier at J.P. Morgan, I built automated quant and pricing systems and supported trading and risk management, leveraging systems design, CI/CD, APIs, and monitoring to keep real-time services reliable.
