Blockchain Engineer

I have led the design and construction of a decentralized AI infrastructure system built on Polkadot for Cyborg Network, optimized for low-latency and optionally verifiable inference. This included the development, research and deployment of:

- a Polkadot parachain (Rust) to handle AI inference requests, proofs, and attestation of edge-servers
- edge-servers (Rust) that listen to the blockchain to execute inference tasks and in some cases deliver zero-knowledge proofs to the parachain
- cloud-servers (Rust) aiding in orchestration of the system, mapping Web2 user requests and payment on-chain and performing compilation of small models to zero-knowledge circuits via EZKL
- a frontend (React / Typescript) providing intuitive access to the system and insight into the deployed inference tasks

I am looking for a position where I can focus more on core blockchain development and the various protocols associated with it. Anything that helps enable or scale privacy and censorship resistance would be preferred use cases.
