\item \small{Architected "Motr," a WebAssembly (WASM) cryptographic enclave compiled from Go, designed to run entirely in client-side Web Workers. This sandboxed environment securely handles Multi-Party Computation (MPC), data signing, and UCAN token generation without ever exposing private keys to the main application thread.}
|
||||
\item \small{Built an edge-native orchestration layer using Cloudflare Workers, utilizing Durable Objects, KV namespaces, and Service Bindings to manage persistent cross-platform sessions, smart routing, and state synchronization across the decentralized network.}
|
||||
\item \small{Pioneered a "Web2-to-Web3" authentication bridge by integrating WebAuthn (Passkeys/Biometrics) and standard OAuth 2.0 flows directly into the SDK, allowing developers to offer passwordless, seed-phrase-free onboarding to their users.}
|
||||
\item \small{Implemented account-isolated client persistence leveraging Dexie.js (IndexedDB) to create a robust offline caching layer for cryptographic states, delegated capabilities, and decentralized web node (DWN) records.}
