I'm Vic, an engineer and builder driving real-world impact through bleeding-edge infrastructure across Solana, Polkadot, Ethereum, and modern clients.

My north star: ship 1B+ USD worth of decentralized systems to accelerate global autonomy, intelligence, and transparency — at scale.

I am heavily involved in working with network performance bottlenecks, building blockchain data pipelines, and solving complex data problems in decentralized infrastructure and protocols.

Presently: Solana, Substrate, EVM, Rollups, Layer2, Data Infrastructure, P2P Networking, Node Architecture, Local-First Systems, and Compute Over Data
