Senior Software Engineer

Backend engineer focused on distributed systems, payments infrastructure, and blockchain integrations.

At ConsenSys and Gitcoin, I led cross-chain integrations for seven blockchain networks (Binance, Polygon, Nervos, Sia, Tezos, Casper, and Cosmos), powering transactions exceeding $3M and supporting the distribution of over $50M in public goods funding through Gitcoin Grants and Passport.

Currently co-founder at Paycrest, where I’m building infrastructure for instant stablecoin-to-fiat payments across emerging markets.

My work spans backend systems, blockchain infrastructure, and developer tooling across startups, public sector projects, and the decentralized web.

Interested in backend, infrastructure, or protocol engineering roles on globally distributed teams.
