Backend engineer for blockchain infrastructure, automation services, and developer tooling.

I turn protocol ideas into services that can run in production: Go/Python backends, Solidity integrations, deployment pipelines, and tooling for teams shipping under ambiguity.

My strongest work sits at the handoff between on-chain logic and operational software. TriggerX was the deepest version of that so far, shaping how I think about reliability, iteration speed, and building infra in public. I also care about clear technical writing, open-source work, and tools that reduce operational drag for small teams.

TriggerX

Jun 2024 - Mar 2026

What it is

A decentralized automation platform for blockchain operations, centered on scheduled and condition-driven task execution across on-chain and off-chain systems.

My role

Core backend and smart contract developer across orchestration services, keeper operations, deployment tooling, and protocol-facing docs.

Technical scope

  • Built and maintained backend orchestration and keeper-node workflows across multiple repos.
  • Shipped contract, deployment, and service updates through major TriggerX milestones on Tron and Arbitrum.
  • TriggerX reached $2B TVL on Arbitrum One.

Outcome

Helped take TriggerX from an early keeper-network prototype to public testnet and mainnet releases, ecosystem partnerships, and operator traction before the project was wound down.

FlowForge

Jan 2026 - Mar 2026

What it is

A workflow product for Web3 users who prefer chat and visual composition over direct protocol interaction. Users can sketch flows on a canvas or talk to a Telegram bot while the system handles the underlying integrations.

My role

Built the initial product, Telegram bot workflow, and ChainLink CRE-backed execution layer.

Outcome

Shipped from hackathon prototype to a broader workflow product that combined chat UX, canvas-based automation, and protocol execution.

pptGEN

Jan 2024 - Jun 2024

What it is

A pipeline for generating synthetic presentation data for training document-understanding models on slide decks and educational content.

My role

Research-focused engineer on the synthetic slide generation pipeline and data workflow.

Technical scope

  • Worked on slide generation workflows built from course lists and syllabi.
  • Focused on data quality, realism, and reproducibility in a noisy document domain.
  • Added range to my work beyond protocol infra into AI-assisted document pipelines.

Outcome

Helped shape the early generation pipeline and reproducibility practices that supported the project’s later research trajectory.
