I've shipped production systems across privacy-focused desktop software, cross-chain infrastructure, and decentralized finance. At Workings, I own product direction and architecture for a local-first application that proves writing provenance without documents leaving a user's machine.

I built Workings' TypeScript/Node.js admin backend and Rust/Tauri desktop core for macOS, Windows, and Linux. I also designed encrypted, tamper-evident records and on-device text, image, and local LLM pipelines that preserve user privacy.

At Venture23/Ibriz, I architected and shipped an Ethereum-to-Aleo cross-chain bridge securing $3.2M TVL, led delivery of the Verulend privacy-preserving money market protocol, and built a Rust indexer that made ecosystem data retrieval 10× faster. I also co-developed DokoJS with the Aleo Network Foundation and owned its major release, documentation, CI/CD, and Prometheus observability.

Earlier at Rumsan, I delivered a multi-tenant CRM platform and reduced high-volume query latency by 50%, improved leaderboard responses 3× with Redis, and reduced build times 5× through a monorepo migration. I enjoy building secure, practical systems end to end, from protocol and backend design through polished user-facing products.
