Building secure production systems across distributed infrastructure, blockchain, financial platforms and AI-enabled backend systems.
I am a lead software engineer and technical architect with experience building production systems across backend engineering, distributed systems, blockchain, digital assets and financial infrastructure.
My core engineering work spans:
π¦ Rust systems and protocol engineering
π Python backend, automation and AI infrastructure
πΉ Go backend services and protocol engineering
βοΈ Cosmos SDK / CometBFT
β‘ Solana / SVM / Anchor
π· Ethereum / EVM / Solidity
π¦ Daml / Canton and enterprise DLT
π° DeFi, digital assets, payments and settlement
π Distributed systems and backend platforms
βοΈ Concurrency, reliability and high-performance systems
βοΈ Cloud, Kubernetes and production infrastructure
π§ Applied AI, agent systems and AI infrastructure
I have worked across Blueprint Finance, Cere Network, Parity Technologies, MXC / DataHighway and Knoldus on lending and vault infrastructure, payments, blockchain runtimes, cross-chain systems, distributed backends, financial transaction processing and production operations.
Python has been part of my engineering stack across backend services, operational tooling, automation, data-oriented integration work and AI-related engineering alongside Rust, Go and TypeScript.
My current engineering work also extends into Applied AI and AI Infrastructure, using Python and Rust to build controlled AI systems that interact with real APIs, databases, blockchain state, observability systems and operational tooling.
