- Engineered a revolutionary "Gasless Onboarding" pipeline by writing custom Cosmos AnteHandlers to intercept and validate WebAuthn (Passkeys/Biometrics) credentials directly at the mempool level, completely abstracting away seed phrases and transaction fees for new users.
- Designed a capability-based authorization system integrating User-Controlled Authorization Networks (UCAN) and Decentralized Web Nodes (DWN) to provide granular, time-bound, and delegatable access to IPFS-backed encrypted data vaults.
- Bridged Web3 ecosystems by implementing full EVM compatibility alongside CosmWasm smart contracts, supporting multi-chain token mappings and cross-chain operations via IBC protocols.
- Built enterprise-grade DevOps infrastructure leveraging Kubernetes (Starship), Docker, and Devbox to orchestrate multi-node testnets and local development environments, utilizing GoReleaser for automated, multi-architecture CI/CD pipelines.
- Integrated automated legal compliance tooling directly into the blockchain CLI, generating cryptographic proofs and automated filings for Wyoming DAO LC amendments.
