Software Developer Engineer

I'm a full-stack developer with a background in distributed systems at Oracle Cloud, where I built and scaled services supporting millions of users. From DevOps to backend architecture to frontend development, I've worked across the stack on PostgreSQL, Redis, and healthcare systems (FHIR).

The web3 space has captured my attention, particularly the Cosmos ecosystem. While I've dipped my toes in by deploying applications on Akash Network's decentralized cloud, I spend most of my time exploring projects like Sentinel DVPN, Osmosis, and Passage.io. The promise of decentralized systems to reshape our digital interactions is what drives my interest.

Looking to transition into web3 development where I can apply my experience with large-scale distributed systems to build the next generation of decentralized applications. Especially interested in infrastructure and creating applications that bridge the gap between traditional and decentralized tech.
