DV Labs develops Distributed Validator technology to reduce slashing risks for Ethereum validators. This solution is widely used by Lido, EtherFi, and others. The technology handles $1.2B TVS. Contributed to the flagship charon project. Introduced AI-assisted engineering workflows from spec to implementation, reducing iteration cycles and improving code quality across the team. Architected AI-driven incident response tooling and extended the observability stack. Drove DVT performance improvements by instrumenting and reducing latencies across the entire stack. Collaborated with vendors to ensure compatibility with upcoming forks and EIPs (Prysm, Teku, Lighthouse, Nethermind, Vouch). Built the HotStuff consensus algorithm implementation to complement the existing QBFT algorithm, plus implemented a pluggable model that can switch consensus algorithm on the fly while maintaining BFT properties. Developed Validator Manager smart contracts for staking reward distribution. Led collaboration with Nethermind for building an alternative client in Rust. Led multiple engineering teams across protocol, smart contracts, and infrastructure.

Chainlink builds Oracle technology for EVM and non-EVM networks. The technology handles $39B TVS. Contributed to the core chainlink project. Designed and implemented the initial version of Functions: including backend, smart contracts, and observability stack at scale. Significantly enhanced platform observability with the Grafana stack at scale. Managed external projects integration, such as LayerZero integration.

MODE.IO developed a post-quantum secure messaging platform competing with Signal. Technical leadership and cross-team product management (Desktop, Android, iOS, backend, and UX team). Designed, developed, and launched a secure messaging platform, including client apps, backend services, and a management web portal (C++17, Qt, Golang, React.JS, WebRTC). Re-implemented the entire legacy cryptographic code using C++17 (axolotl protocol, pq-safe encryption). Designed and built voice and video calls via WebRTC.

Designed and built a schematized instrumentation framework for high-speed logging of business-critical events within the foundation of Bing and AdCenter. Implemented V1 of Bond compiler for C#. Designed and implemented co-processing engine and API for Object Store platform that allows business intelligence algorithms to be expressed in C# and executed inside the Store.

Various senior engineering roles focused on systems programming and platform development. Detailed history available upon request.
