5+ teams led

From Enterprise Scale to Decentralized Future.

Starting at IBM, I worked across blockchain consulting, enterprise architecture, and public sector identity systems. Building microservices ecosystems with ~95% test coverage and leading technical roadmaps for institutional clients. That foundation in Domain-Driven Design and rigorous engineering carried over into everything since.

At Taiko Labs, I led the ecosystem engineering team, shipping the Trailblazers platform (700k+ active wallets, 6 seasons), the native bridge (280k+ transactions, zero downtime), and the token swap interface. Every system built on the same DDD principles that proved themselves at enterprise scale.

Today I specialize in full-stack Web3 engineering, from smart contracts and protocol integrations to production frontends, building resilient systems on top of decentralized protocols.
