Experience

Senior Blockchain Engineer
Crypto.com
2021 - 2026
Designed and implemented a high-throughput blockchain transaction stress testing bot in Go. Supported multiple transaction types and sustained extremely high TPS without being limited by RPC throughput or single-machine performance. Achieved very low transaction failure rates, enabling accurate stress testing of Cronos under different protocol and parameter configurations. Provided critical performance data for chain tuning, parameter decisions, and stability validation. Core contributor to the Cronos (Cosmos-based) blockchain explorer indexing service. Synchronized block data directly from Cronos / Tendermint nodes, parsing blocks, transactions, and events. Built high-performance RESTful APIs for querying blocks, transactions, and event data. Supported both real-time and historical data access for public explorers and internal systems. Independently designed and implemented a high-performance historical data reindexing service in Go. Used for schema changes, data repair, and large-scale historical backfills. Achieved significantly higher throughput than the main indexer, with multi-node horizontal scalability. Dramatically reduced reindexing time, removed dependency on DevOps intervention, and improved overall engineering efficiency.
