Blockchain Architect | Full Stack Developer | Smart Contract & Solidity Developer | Cloud & Dev Ops | Blockchain Infrastructure

I am a founder and blockchain infrastructure engineer with 5.5+ years of experience building on-chain and off-chain systems across banking, fintech, staking, validator infrastructure, smart contracts, and cloud-native blockchain platforms.

Currently, I am building Tenderly.Care, an AI-powered healthcare platform focused on private, affordable, and judgment-free care. As founder, I own product strategy, backend architecture, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, security, observability, and end-to-end platform delivery.

Before Tenderly.Care, I worked deeply in blockchain infrastructure and institutional digital asset systems, including crypto-collateralized lending, cross-border bank payment networks, letter of credit workflows, staking platforms, validator operations, RPC infrastructure, smart contracts, event indexing, and settlement architecture.

Recently, I also built FinSettle, a Cosmos SDK based tokenized deposit settlement prototype for regulated financial institutions. It models participant onboarding, KYC controls, tokenized deposit issuance, liquidity locking, maker-checker approval, final settlement, audit indexing, and reconciliation dashboards.

My core strength is designing systems where blockchain, backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, security, and real-world operations meet.

Areas I work across:

- Cosmos SDK, CometBFT, ABCI++

- Ethereum, Solidity, smart contracts, DeFi

- Staking, validator and RPC infrastructure

- Tokenized deposits and payment settlement systems

- Go, Node.js, TypeScript, Rust, Python

- Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, GCP

- Event-driven architecture, observability, and production operations

I am interested in blockchain infrastructure, institutional digital assets, tokenized finance, staking platforms, and banking-grade settlement systems.
