Experience

Senior Sofware Engineer
Coinbase
2025 - 2026
Used a full AI workow with Claude, Cursor, and Codex from discovery to production, including requirement shaping, spec drafting, implementation, review, and release readiness. Made targeted backend adjustments with an AI assistant to help the team diagnose issues faster and unblock delivery. Improved onboarding conversion by designing and shipping new pages and UX upgrades in onboarding ows that had been largely untouched for more than ve years. Owned and maintained critical onboarding journeys from sign-in through post sign-in, including identity, compliance, and policy-driven user states. Built and scaled Storybook-based Unied Onboarding documentation and scenario coverage, with reusable stories for success, error, regional, and compliance variants to reduce regressions and speed delivery.
Senior Software Engineer
Cheesecake Labs
2024 - 2025
Worked directly with product and stakeholders to plan and architect MoneyGram's non-custodial wallet: activation, custody, KYC, and USDC ramps for remittance and digital asset use cases. Shipped activation and custody on multi-signature wallets, with a backend that signs and pays for transactions so remittance users can move USDC under a non-custodial model. Built KYC guardrails into activation and transfers to block bad actors before they reach the wallet or the ramps. Delivered USDC on-ramp and off-ramp through Stellar Anchors, covering settlement edge cases across at, USDC, and the chain. Researched onboarding and account workows in Rust and Soroban to evaluate more secure and scalable designs for later platform capabilities. Coached engineers through pair and mob programming and kept implementation order aligned with the stakeholder roadmap.
Staff Software Engineer
Hack-a-Chain
2022 - 2022
Led the team that built Jump DeFi, a decentralized exchange on NEAR, including the React trading interface, Node.js services, and Rust contracts for wallet connection, swaps, and transaction feedback. Built the AMM with staff reviewers who checked the contracts for vulnerabilities and audited them before launch. Built the swap router that executes swaps across market contracts when liquidity is split between pools. Built the staking and launchpad mechanism: users stake and receive launchpad tickets they can use for new listings. Led estimation, prioritization, and communication between product and engineering through launch.
