What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and lead production-grade blockchain, DeFi, trading, lending, or yield infrastructure where I can own difficult protocol design, smart contracts, backend systems, and scaling challenges.

At Temporal Finance, I build the core infrastructure behind perpetual futures, CLOB-AMMs, yield trading, and lending markets. I translated a Burr Type-II pricing model from Excel into an allocation-free Go package and built leverage, funding, settlement, liquidation, and hedging systems.

I’ve designed AMM and orderbook systems that handle quoting, inventory, wallet runtimes, self-balancing Red-Black Trees, and reactive execution. My work also includes Solana contracts, zk-SNARK proof verification with Gnark, and CosmWasm contracts across Cosmos-based products.

As Tech Lead at Eclipse Fi/Orbit Earn, I led the DEX rebuild and liquidity bootstrapping pool for an IDO, improving performance by 90%. I also built DAO aggregation and planned multi-strategy yield vaults spanning Aave, Compound, Morpho, Euler, and Pendle.

I’ve helped teams ship and scale blockchain infrastructure at Shiba Inu, Konstellation, Lazer, and Achala/Drife. From resolving a seven-day chain halt and upgrading Cosmos validators to building APIs, indexers, and smart-contract architectures, I focus on systems that hold up in production.
