Software Engineer | Backend & Distributed Systems | Security-Critical Systems | Applied AI
I've been building software professionally since 2017, mostly TypeScript/Node.js backends and Ethereum systems. Blockchain is my deepest specialty, but I'd rather treat it as proof that I can build difficult systems than as a permanent job category. I'm now leaning further into backend engineering and applied AI, especially coding-agent evaluation, retrieval, and developer tooling.
- Backend and systems: TypeScript, Node.js, Python, APIs, event-driven architecture, concurrency, deterministic simulation, Docker, Linux, and CI/CD
- Security-critical engineering: adversarial systems, access controls, automated testing, failure analysis, and operational safeguards
- Applied AI: coding-agent evaluation, test and grader design, retrieval and embeddings, LLM-assisted code analysis, and agentic developer tooling
- Blockchain: Solidity, EVM protocols, DeFi, smart-contract security, MEV, Hardhat, and Foundry
