blockchain engineer and full-stack developer specializing in
web3, defi, and high-performance distributed systems. ~14 years
of software, last five spent deep in blockchain — designing
defi protocols (erc-4626, erc-1410), optimizing smart contracts
for gas, and engineering low-latency data pipelines for on-chain
analytics.
day to day i work across the stack: solidity contracts, rust
infrastructure, react frontends, node backends. lately into
zk-rollups, confidential computing with sev-snp enclaves, and
ai agents that make on-chain data accessible to non-technical
users.
off the clock i'm into home automation, self-hosting, and the
kind of small rust tools that make my own life better.
also a gamer when i get the chance.
experience
founding engineer · lys labs
mar 2024 — present
architected a novel defi derivative aggregating ethereum staking/
restaking via erc-4626 vaults and erc-1410 aggregators. built a
solana block parser & indexer running <10ms/block, and a
non-custodial wallet on rust + linux unikernels with sev-snp
enclaves achieving sub-5ms signing latency. designed yield
strategies, risk models, and ai agents that surface defi
insights to non-technical users.
