Senior Backend & Systems Architect
I build high-performance, strictly typed infrastructure from the bare metal up. My work focuses on translating fragmented ecosystems—whether that means parsing disparate blockchain VMs or managing high-dimensional LLM contexts—into unified, low-latency execution layers.
I care deeply about data sovereignty, strict type safety, and zero-trust architecture. If it requires dynamic, loose typing at scale, I'm probably rewriting it in Rust.
- AI-Native Infrastructure: Stateful LLM reasoning pipelines, custom Qdrant vector-RAG engines, and deterministic backend services that treat LLMs as core reasoning engines rather than stateless chatbots.
- High-Frequency DeFi Routing: Cross-chain liquidity execution engines using in-memory graph traversal across heterogeneous VMs (EVM, Solana, TON).
- Zero-Trust Custodial Systems: Highly concurrent Rust/tokio architectures secured via HashiCorp Vault, air-gapped IBVXLANs, and autonomous vTPM/LUKS unlocking sequences.
- Bare-Metal Infrastructure: I run my own private cloud topologies using Proxmox VE, LXC, Terraform, OpenZFS, and 40Gb Infiniband.
- Languages: Rust, Go, TypeScript, Python, SQL
- Systems & Infra: Proxmox, LXC, Kubernetes, Terraform, OpenZFS, Infiniband
- AI & Data: Qdrant, RAG Architecture, ONNX, Agentic Pipelines
- Security & Web3: HashiCorp Vault, KMS, FIDO2, LayerZero, CCTP
While working on distributed systems and crypto architecture, I have also taken time to act as a biochemistry researcher, applying AI/ML techniques to modeling protein synthesis pathways and biopolymers. I apply that same scientific rigor to software architecture.
