01
Domain Obsession
I don't ship features — I internalize the problem space. Crypto lending, payment rails, wallet security — I go deep until I understand the threat model, the incentive structure, the edge cases that kill companies. Then I build.
Built to
burn
problems
down.
I build financial infrastructure at the founding layer — lending protocols, payment rails, acquisition-grade systems. Not because it's a job. Because I can't stop until something works exactly the way it should.
I don't just write code. I develop a deep obsession with the domain until I understand it better than almost anyone in the room.
I treat depth as a prerequisite, not a flex. At MetaKeep I owned the stack end to end — not wiring a demo but shipping the work that held up under real diligence. The integration I built became the primary technical validator for a NASDAQ acquisition — the kind of proof that turns a deal from maybe to closed.
At Revalon I co-founded the protocol layer from zero: underwriting and pricing wired to guarded on-chain execution, plus a two-sided marketplace built for adversarial markets, not slide decks. We ran the full testnet lifecycle with zero bad debt— because production discipline is the only honest dress rehearsal.
This is what separates me — not the stack, not the titles. It's the refusal to stop at “good enough”when I know what “right” looks like. I've worked alongside world-class engineers who built WhatsApp Pay, Diem blockchain at Meta, and Twitter's social graph. That environment sharpened something in me: the standard is always higher than what you think.
What sets apart top 1%
The edge
02
Zero-to-Production Speed
From zero to a crypto onramp used in a NASDAQ acquisition. From zero to a lending protocol with disciplined on-chain execution and automated risk workflows. Most engineers prototype. I ship.
03
System-Level Thinking
I see the whole board — protocol layer, application layer, DevOps, security architecture. When I build lending infrastructure I think about liquidation economics, custody boundaries, reconciliation, and observable decision trails simultaneously.
04
High-Stakes Calm
The work I do has real financial consequence — bad debt, flash-loan exploits, acquisition validators. I operate with the same focus under pressure as I do at 2am with no deadline. That's not a work habit. It's character.
05
Ownership Instinct
I've never handed a problem back with "that's not my area." Wallet Isolation, open-source gas optimization, fiat-to-token rails — I find the gap, understand it, and close it. Not because someone asked, but because leaving it open bothers me.
06
Compounding Trajectory
One year: intern contributing to quantum-resistant L1 smart contracts. Two years: CTO of a production-grade DeFi protocol. The velocity isn't luck — it's what happens when someone is genuinely, deeply in love with the craft.
Work experience
The record
Apr 2026 – NowCo-founder · CTO
Revalon Finance
Protocol Engineering · DeFi Infrastructure
- Led architecture for a lending protocol on Polygon: Solidity across multiple contracts, guarded execution paths, and operational controls (timelock, multisig). Shipped full testnet lifecycle with disciplined collateral and liquidation practice.
- Built Go services for underwriting and dynamic LTV — multi-signal inputs, auditable outputs, and PostgreSQL trails suitable for downstream analytics and diligence.
- Delivered marketplace mechanics bridging lenders and borrowers: dynamic rate regimes, automated monitoring, and a staged margin workflow aligned with protocol constraints.
- Integrated hybrid on-chain/off-chain collateral from crypto and regulated venues with encryption and KMS-aware key handling. Architecture and integrations available under NDA.
Apr 2025 – May 2026Senior Engineer
MetaKeep (Acquired)
Rezolve AI · NASDAQ: RZLV
- Engineered the crypto payment integration that served as the primary technical validator for MetaKeep's acquisition by Rezolve AI (NASDAQ: RZLV). Sign-up-free transactions in a chatbot UI for luxury retail — shipped March 2026.
- Led Wallet Isolation, an enterprise security feature enforcing per-app key segregation. Reduced pre-production bugs by 40%. Adopted as a production standard across the MetaKeep SDK.
- Built MetaKeep's crypto onramp from zero — integrated Coinbase API with zero-fee, sign-up-free UX. Architected a MoonPay → Jupiter fiat-to-token swap rail with auto-deposit into MetaKeep wallets.
- Shipped 8 SDK integration demos (6 Android, 2 iOS) covering Solana and Ethereum flows — used as developer documentation and enterprise sales tooling.
Oct 2024 – Mar 2025Blockchain Dev Intern
Quranium
Quantum-Resistant Blockchain Infrastructure
- Built an MVP decentralised exchange using Uniswap v3 and a multi-sig wallet for a quantum-resistant L1 blockchain.
- 4 merged PRs to FairFund open-source smart contracts — reduced gas costs by 25%, fixed critical bugs, drove test coverage to 100% branch coverage.
