ABOUT ME
Founding Engineer with a passion for building
Founding Engineer with a passion for building
I'm a founding engineer who's built real-time systems that handle real money at scale. Currently working on Web3 payment infrastructure and game engines processing $1.5M+ monthly. Previously built AI orchestration layers at big tech.
I can help you get unstuck with:
- TypeScript / JavaScript / Python — React, Node.js, Django, Flask, async patterns, type gymnastics
- Real-time systems — WebSockets, state sync, race conditions
- Payments & fintech — Stripe, crypto integrations, transaction edge cases
- Smart Contract development — Both on-chain logic and off-chain integrations
- APIs & architecture — Design decisions, debugging, "why isn't this working"
I've been the engineer who gets paged when things break. I know what it's like to stare at code that should work. Let's figure it out together.
