Building a workspace where a team and its AI agents share one state: chat, a Git forge with code review, and sandboxed compute, replicated across the team's own validator network. I co-built its consensus and execution layers in Rust.

Designed the LRT vault system and core L1 components: validator staking, reward settlement, VLF vaults and hub-chain protocols. Took the contracts through external audits.

Primary author of Hyperlane's official CosmWasm implementation (multisig ISM, warp routes). Supported its external audit.

Built and operated high-availability Hyperlane validator infrastructure across 125+ chains on Kubernetes with ArgoCD GitOps and Prometheus/Grafana observability. Reduced external RPC dependency by 28% (97k → 70k daily calls) through request batching and caching.

Sole engineer on the alpha of a price-range prediction market: an event-sourced execution engine with parallel execution and versioned state (RocksDB + JMT), a CEX price oracle, and a TypeScript SDK.

Led eth-anchor, the Ethereum bridge for Anchor Protocol, with a two-phase init/finish flow to handle cross-chain latency.

Proposed and led Pylon Protocol, a yield redirection platform on Terra, as an internal incubation. Wrote the core CosmWasm contracts and shipped them through audit to production.

Built Mirror Protocol's Ethereum-side LP incentive contracts and took them through audit to production.

Wrote the Solidity contracts for a data-exchange protocol (100% branch coverage) and the Go and Python SDKs that replaced its P2P node. Built a Go worker that synced consent records on-chain daily.

Built real-time and batch data pipelines for enterprise partners and moved them from AWS Lambda to Kubernetes on EKS.
