Principal Software Engineer, Backend | Stateless Solutions
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.
Software Engineer, Backend | Pocket Network Inc.
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.
