backend & protocol engineer


I'm a backend & protocol engineer. For the last couple of years I've been building production blockchain infrastructure in Rust and Go, working across the full Madara stack, an open-source Starknet appchain framework that powers Paradex ($250B+ in cumulative volume) and other live chains.

I like working close to the metal: distributed systems, the backend services and infrastructure that run them, and keeping all of it correct and reliable under real load. Lately I've been going deeper into the fundamentals: operating systems, networking, security, cryptography, and database internals.
