Full Stack Developer
Senior Backend Engineer
Cross-chain and DeFi engineer. I ship the on-chain systems that move real money and never strand funds.
I built the first OFT launchpad on LayerZero V2, live across 7 EVM chains, roughly $300K invested, 5,000 users at launch. I run a 23-chain settlement matrix across Circle CCTP and LayerZero, including the Solana to EVM route most teams stall on. In 2022 I co-founded Omni-X, the first natively omnichain NFT platform, and created Greg, the first onchain ONFT.
Problems I have already solved in production: multi-chain concurrency that never strands funds (Postgres advisory locks, per-address chain locks, fresh nonces), on-chain agents that execute under proof (nothing counts as done without a confirmed transaction hash), and full-stack builds from Solidity contracts to the interface people trust with their money.
Stack: Solidity, LayerZero V2, Circle CCTP, TypeScript, Node, Next.js, Postgres, Foundry, viem, Solana. Founder-engineer for hire, remote, US-based. Proof at richardthebruce.com

Experience
CTO
GBlock 2022 - 2026
GBlock is the engineering studio I built and ran before consolidating my work under my own name at richardthebruce.com. Under GBlock I took client products from idea to production: cross-chain infrastructure, DeFi, and full-stack builds. Same engineer, same standard, now operating as Richard The Bruce.
Sole Proprietor
Global Genesis 2019 - 2021
Global Genesis is the company I founded at 24, as a sole proprietor, during the COVID-19 crisis. I built a confidence-interval model that predicted hospital supply needs across three dimensions at once: product type, quantity, and timing. It ran at an 85 to 97 percent accuracy rate and turned a chaotic, life-or-death supply market into something I could forecast. On the back of that model the business generated nine figures in revenue and scaled from $15,000 a month to $15 million a month.
