Lead Software Engineer

I have been working at Airstack since mid 2023. these are some of my work experiences.



Farcaster Indexing & Social Scoring:
Designed and developed the Farcaster Indexer using Hubs, Kafka, ClickHouse, and Go microservices to track protocol events. Extended this to build a Social Capital Score system based on followers and engagement on Warpcast, which powered the $MOXIE incentive program distributing over 2 billion tokens in rewards.

Distributed Chain Indexing:
Led the indexing of chains like Base, Zora, and Gold using distributed systems with Kafka, MongoDB, and Go microservices. Built scalable services such as block-ingester and block-processor for efficient blockchain data management.

Smart Contract Development:
Developed smart contracts for locking fan tokens and distributing engagement-based rewards, contributing to the tokenomics design of on-chain social systems.

AI + Web3 (Eliza Framework):
Contributed to the Eliza AI framework, building skills such as ERC20 sentiment analysis on Base and a PnL calculator using Dune Analytics data to empower on-chain user insights.



I am looking for a web3 career in l1/l2 working on zk solutions, where my contribution can have positive impact the company and the world.

Architected a distributed, multi-chain blockchain indexing platform in Go that ingests 100K+ on-chain events/day with sub-2 s latency across EVM networks. Built and deployed a production Solidity contracts with storage layout optimization for gas efficiency and ABI encoding; implemented ethers.js-based backend integration to query contract state and execute on-chain transactions — covering the full lifecycle from contract design to off-chain consumption including L2 networks (Zora, Base) and Gold. Built the Farcaster Social Indexer, a distributed pipeline handling 5M+ events/day powering the $MOXIE Social Capital Score and enabling distribution of 2B+ tokens; end-to-end ownership from design to production monitoring. Collaborated with third-party security auditors to conduct comprehensive smart contract reviews; remediated vulnerabilities and hardened on-chain logic to ensure audit-clean multi-chain deployments across chains. Designed high-availability services with rate limiting, circuit breakers, and retry strategies across multi-chain infrastructure, sustaining >99.9 % uptime on Kubernetes (AWS/GCP). Wrote unit and integration tests using Hardhat and foundry prior to multi-chain deployment. Led 2–4 backend engineers: drove architecture decisions, code reviews, and engineering standards that increased delivery velocity 30–40 % and cut ramp-up time for new engineers from 5 weeks to ~2 weeks.
