At Chainlink Labs, I designed and shipped the next generation of a product securing $20B+ in value for customers including Aave, Polymarket, GMX and Kamino Finance. I also built a websocket proxy that unlocked Deutsche Börse TradFi market data use.

At Skynet Labs, I designed a distributed storage resilience service that reduced data loss by 70% across 20 nodes. I also built malware detection and content moderation services that reduced malware reports by 60%.

Earlier, at Rifiniti (FM:Systems), I joined as the first engineering hire and built the MVP, product architecture and production infrastructure through commercial launch. I later became Director of Engineering and built and managed the Bulgarian engineering and QA team.
