July 2023 - December 2024
At Stateless Solutions, I led a team of 3 backend engineers & our Gateway and Service API platform, enabling seamless integration of verified RPC data from network nodes for developers.
I developed a pseudo-stateless client leveraging cryptographic attestations and Merkle proofs for Ethereum state validation without local storage. I built custom ethers.js and viem integrations, including a verifiable RPC transport, and led development of the Stateless CLI.
Enhanced system observability using OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana, while managing GCP infrastructure for our backend services.
August 2021 - July 2023
At Pocket Network, I led the creation of Portal API V2, a complete Go rewrite of V1, from specifications to implementation. This new system, currently in production, has handled peak loads of 2 billion requests per day while reducing overall costs by 43%.
It demonstrates exceptional efficiency in both RAM and CPU usage, with a 90% compute reduction compared to V1 and 2.5 times faster latency. I implemented robust metrics for enhanced system observability and reduced logging by 80%, significantly decreasing storage costs.
As the primary knowledge source for Pocket Protocol and Ethereum, I advocated for transparency in our selection algorithm and drove improvements for fairer reward distribution. I also successfully led technical integrations to add $POKT to over five exchanges, including KuCoin, Gate, and Okcoin.
May 2020 - August 2021
During my time at 1Hive, I set up UniswapV2 contracts and UI for the Honeyswap DEX (honeyswap.org), maintained Celeste backend services (celeste.1hive.org), created xPollinate, a cross-chain assets bridge powered by Connext (xpollinate.io), and deployed the contracts necessary to bridge the $HNY token from xDai to Ethereum Mainnet.
February 2021 - April 2021
In this role at Pocket Network, I wrote a subgraph for a staking contract based on AMPL-TokenGeyser, assisted in developing the mathematical models for rewards, lock schedules, and unlock rates, and configured the entire smart contract deployment and testing suite using Hardhat.
March 2020 - April 2021
At Iterativo LLC, I focused on backend development, particularly API Design & Management. I migrated several microservices to FastAPI, successfully created two new products with clean CI/CD pipelines, implemented a self-managed API Gateway and routing using GKE, analyzed cost-effective deployment strategies on Google Cloud Platform, refactored an old API from traditional to serverless architecture, and optimized system-bottlenecking queries, significantly boosting performance.
October 2020 - January 2021
At BrightID, I worked on their IDChain side chain, deploying several DApp forks including Uniswap V2, Uniswap Analytics, Omnibridge, and DaoHaus. I also set up a Graph Node for deploying all necessary subgraphs for these applications, as well as the associated contracts.
