Web3 / DeFi frontend
Built production trading UIs at BitMEX and led MonkeyDex, a Solana DEX with sub-100ms quote integration and fully on-chain copy-trading. Fluent in wallet auth, on-chain flows, and high-frequency real-time interfaces.
Senior fullstack
Takes products from architecture to live, monetized deployment alone — Next.js/React front ends on AWS (Lambda fleets, Aurora/RDS, DynamoDB, SQS), Stripe billing, and Postgres/Mongo data layers. Owns the whole stack.
AI / LLM engineering
Builds production LLM systems: autonomous content pipelines, tool-calling agents, multi-agent orchestration, citation-enforced anti-hallucination, and prompt-cost optimization (cut one pipeline ~78%).
