What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own end-to-end features, scale systems reliably, and apply AI to real workflows—especially in data-driven or blockchain products with strong engineering culture.

I’m a full-stack software engineer who ships production-ready features fast—turning system design into deployment in early-stage environments. At TrontalGroup, I’ve worked across blockchain, cryptocurrency markets, and quantitative trading systems to deliver real user impact.

I scaled a platform from 0 to 50,000 monthly active users by refactoring into a modular, scalable architecture. I also built an AI coding assistant, Kata, to help users write kScript (Trontal’s native scripting language) and lower the barrier for non-developers.

I’ve architected and delivered core collaboration and notification experiences end-to-end, including a live collaboration system with WebSockets, session management, and live chat. As the sole developer for platform-critical features, I owned guest access, PWA support, alert notifications (in-app and push), and trading integrations across Binance, Bybit, and Hyperliquid.

Earlier, I contributed backend and middleware components at AntInternational using SOFABoot/SpringBoot, asynchronous processing with message brokers, recurring jobs, and runtime tunability. I enjoy security-focused engineering, and I bring strong software fundamentals plus a drive to apply AI—through RAG-powered chatbots and other agent-based projects.
