Led technical direction across Syscoin's multi-layer ecosystem — from Pali Wallet and application-layer DeFi to core infrastructure and zk scaling (zkSYS, Rollux, core UTXO).
- Managed Pali Wallet — non-custodial browser extension + mobile wallet for the Syscoin multi-chain ecosystem
- Owned the Chrome MV2 → MV3 migration for Pali Wallet — re-architected the extension around service workers, message passing and the new permissions model
- Coordinated the launch of the zkSYS testnet
- Led cross-functional alignment for a multi-chain architecture (UTXO + EVM + zk) — Bitcoin security, EVM compatibility, zk scalability
- Directed DeFi protocol engineering on Pegasys.fi (Uniswap v3 + Aave forks on Syscoin & Rollux)
- Embedded AI-assisted workflows (Claude Code MAX, Codex, Cursor) for spec drafting, code review and technical documentation

Redesigning the smart-contract architecture for scalability, security, interoperability and gas efficiency. Automated, trustless coverage that protects digital assets across chains — no intermediaries.
- Contributed to systems covering $20M+ in underwriting capacity
- Led integration with EigenLayer's AVS (Actively Validated Services)
- Pitched Lunos to investors at Ethereum's biggest conference (DevCon)
- Used Claude Code, Codex and Cursor for contract analysis, test generation and gas optimization

Hired specifically to build a custodial wallet for a flagship NFT client — owned the project end-to-end, from defining the technical specs through full implementation. The wallet was never launched: the team was disbanded in the wake of the FTX collapse, which froze the client's wallet roadmap.
- Custodial wallet for the client's NFT drops — defined the specs (key custody model, signing flow, transaction orchestration, security boundaries) and delivered the full implementation before the project was halted
- Designed the backend services around the wallet — Node.js + TypeScript APIs for account provisioning, transaction signing and on-chain interaction
- Also shipped two adjacent NFT smart-contract systems alongside the wallet work — a proof-of-attendance drop on Polygon mainnet and a packs-and-cards collection (1,400+ tokens minted on Ethereum mainnet)
