I’m a founder at heart and a product-first engineer. I live for zero-to-one: turning messy ideas into systems users actually touch. Startups are my natural habitat—fast loops, high ownership, shipped results.
- 🦀 Rust + backend systems: indexers, MPC flows, custom services; Solana pipelines (e.g. Yellowstone Geyser gRPC)
- Infra: Scaling workloads across AWS, GCP, and Azure (CI/CD, networking, IAM, orchestration, observability).
