Senior Web3 Engineer

I’m a blockchain engineer with a strong focus on building production-grade decentralized applications and infrastructure.

Currently, I’m working as a Lead Blockchain Engineer at Talis Protocol, where I’ve been responsible for designing and delivering end-to-end Web3 systems, from smart contracts to backend services and user-facing applications. I’ve led the development of a multi-chain NFT marketplace deployed across several Cosmos-based networks, processing over $5M in transactions.

My expertise lies in bridging on-chain and off-chain systems. I design and implement secure smart contracts in Rust, while also building the surrounding infrastructure—APIs, indexing services, and real-time data pipelines—to ensure scalability and reliability. I’ve worked extensively with cross-chain communication, decentralized storage like Arweave and IPFS, and event-driven architectures.

What I’m particularly proud of is building systems that are not just technically sound but actually used in production, handling real users and value. This includes implementing upgradeable smart contracts, optimizing transaction flows, and creating tools that improve both developer and user experience.

What sets me apart is my ability to take ownership across the full stack—from protocol design to frontend and to make architectural decisions that align with both technical constraints and product goals. I’m comfortable evaluating different blockchain approaches and contributing to strategic decisions, not just implementation.

Overall, I bring a combination of hands-on engineering, system design, and product awareness that allows me to contribute as both a builder and a technical lead.
