I am an active learner who seeks out possibilities in the engineering world. In my journey, I carry nothing but pieces of baggage packed with all the knowledge and experience accumulated from what I have studied, what I have learned from the success and mistakes of others and myself. Despite not being able to bring every learning into play in my past works, what I had gathered already made me a better engineer delivering solutions to real-life problems using different methodologies with maximal efficiency in mind.

Experience

Work history, roles, and key accomplishments

Technical Lead

Shinka Network

Nov 2022 - Apr 2023 (5 months)

Our flagship product was Teiki - a decentralized crowdfunding protocol (which was later rebranded/repositioned into Kreate). At that time, Teiki and the team were in a very early stage; therefore, we needed to establish all the technical and procedural aspects from the ground up. I accepted the challenge and continued my Cardano journey - donning multiple roles along the way.

Senior Blockchain Engineer

MELD

Nov 2021 - Sep 2022 (10 months)

I heavily researched Cardano smart contracts patterns and architectures, yielding distinct designs native to Cardano and the UTxO ledger model - in contrast to smart contracts built on Ethereum and other blockchains with an account-based ledger model. Grew lots of knowledge on blockchains in general and the DeFi world in the process.

Principal Engineer

StoryTree

Sep 2014 - Oct 2021 (7 years 1 month)

The flagship product of StoryTree is SimplePrints - which is now one of the best personal photo book creators in the United States.
I wore many hats to help the startup grow, mainly responsible for developing the SimplePrints backend system, keeping it cost-effective but expansible and reliable with 99.995% uptime.
