What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead engineering and build AI-driven, Web3-focused platforms—shipping scalable microservices, robust smart contracts, and measurable compliance/risk intelligence with a collaborative, execution-first team.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 20 years of experience building AI-powered systems—document intelligence, RAG pipelines, anomaly detection—on blockchain traceability platforms. I bring deep proficiency in Python, TypeScript, AWS, microservices, and distributed architectures, with a proven track record of architecting scalable solutions and leading engineering teams.

As VP of Engineering at Darwin Evolution, I architected an on-chain traceability protocol spanning 12 Solidity/EVM smart contracts (including identity, governance, DID registry, and NFT-based inventory with FSMA 204 compliance at protocol level) and built an agentic compliance system that routes queries across on-chain traceability data, a regulatory knowledge base (Qdrant semantic search over 10+ databases), and risk modules for anomaly and fraud detection. I’ve also led Web3 product development at AhtesLabs (non-custodial wallets, AI data infrastructure with Qdrant and PostgreSQL, and DeFi lifecycle management) and delivered cross-chain smart contract engineering as a Technical Lead across multiple ecosystems, combining rigorous architecture with hands-on delivery using FastAPI, NestJS, Solidity/Rust, React, Docker/Kubernetes, and AWS.
