01 / About

Engineering trust into decentralized systems

I'm a software engineer focused on decentralized applications, with deep work across the Stellar and Starknet ecosystems. My interests sit where healthcare and fintech meet blockchain — domains where transparency and data integrity genuinely matter.

As a maintainer, I architect application and smart-contract logic, scope issues, review contributions, and drive project roadmaps. As a contributor, I deliver reviewed features to production projects in collaboration with distributed teams.

Outside of shipping, I'm usually exploring new protocol tooling or helping other developers get their first contributions merged.

Project ownership

I own end-to-end technical direction on the projects I lead — architecture, smart-contract logic, issue scoping, and contributor guidance.

Open-source rigor

I ship reviewed, production-grade code and hold the same bar when reviewing community pull requests across multiple ecosystems.

Distributed collaboration

I coordinate contributor workflows through GitHub, GrantFox, and OnlyDust, working effectively with teams across time zones.
