1. Architecting a multi-chain DeFi yield platform from zeroDeFi client · 0-to-1

   Product architecture for a tokenized RWA and crypto-native yield platform, from vault standards to audited contracts.

   Challenge

   One platform for tokenized RWA and crypto-native yield: async deposits and redemptions at scale, composability without weaker risk controls, and trading kept apart from risk.

   Built

   Architected it on ERC-4626 and ERC-7540 vaults, wrote the specs for multi-chain deployment, redemptions and AMM integrations, and shaped strategies with trading desks and risk managers.

   Outcome

   Full architecture built and audited across a multi-chain deployment, with risk management separated from trading execution by design, so incentives never get tangled.

2. Open-source Travel Rule platformCompliance network · open source, 2021–26

   The open-source platform crypto businesses run to exchange Travel Rule data with each other.

   Challenge

   Crypto businesses must share verified sender and receiver details with every transfer, but there was no open, self-hostable way to find each other and exchange that data securely.

   Built

   An open-source stack: a compliance dashboard, a node that signs and relays IVMS-101 messages over the network's chain, and Docker deployment with SSL, backups and health checks.

   Outcome

   Businesses on the network exchange verified sender and receiver data peer to peer, meeting the FATF Travel Rule without handing customer data to a central intermediary.

3. Token platform for an AI-agent networkAI + web3 startup, 2025–26

   Staking, vesting and governance apps for a Solana token, plus backend work on the AI side.

   Challenge

   A startup launching a Solana token around its AI agents needed staking, vesting and governance apps holders could trust with real money, ready for a global audience.

   Built

   Led front-end and web3 engineering: staking with a cooldown queue, vesting claims, on-chain governance and wallet pages, hardened with strict CSP, CVE patches and end-to-end tests.

   Outcome

   Holders stake, claim vested tokens and vote on-chain from one hardened, tested and monitored app, with wallet metrics and rewards served from the Rust backend.
