experience:
  - source: sonr
    bullets:
      - "Founded the company and secured $4.7M to build a peer-to-peer identity and asset network, owning systems end to end — specification, architecture, implementation, testing, and maintenance."
      - use: 3
      - "Deployed and operated production infrastructure on Google Cloud, managing complex network deployments with Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, and comprehensive Linux administration."
      - "Drove open-source growth to the 4th-highest global GitHub contributions (Oct 2021 – Oct 2022) and onboarded 120+ first-time blockchain developers."

projects:
  - source: appchain
    title: Layer-1 Blockchain & Identity
    bullets:
      - "Engineered a “Gasless Onboarding” transaction pipeline with custom Cosmos AnteHandlers intercepting and validating WebAuthn credentials at the mempool level, abstracting away seed phrases and fees."
      - "Built and operated multi-node testnets with Kubernetes (Starship), Docker, and Devbox, automating multi-architecture CI/CD with GoReleaser."
      - "Delivered full EVM compatibility alongside CosmWasm contracts, supporting multi-chain token mappings and cross-chain IBC operations."
  - source: cryptography-library
    title: Core Cryptography Library
    bullets:
      - "Engineered constant-time elliptic curve arithmetic in Go (secp256k1, Ed25519, BLS12-381), strictly hardened against side-channel timing attacks, signature malleability, and nonce reuse."
      - "Implemented Zero-Knowledge Proof systems — Bulletproofs and cryptographic accumulators — with Fiat-Shamir non-interactive verification."
      - "Shipped MPC and Distributed Key Generation protocols (Threshold ECDSA/Ed25519, FROST), backed by exhaustive automated security tests, race-condition checks, and performance benchmarks."
  - source: token-economics
    title: Token Economics & Governance
    dates: "2022"
    bullets:
      - "Architected the token model and macroeconomic parameters — allocation, supply schedules, velocity, and staking emissions — for a DPoS network, benchmarked against DeFi protocols Uniswap and Compound."
      - "Translated economic models — price-shock absorption, lockup vesting, and subsidy schedules — into Layer-1 state machine and smart-contract logic alongside 6 PhD economists from Prysm Group."
  - source: client-sdk
    title: Client SDK & Motr Enclave
    bullets:
      - "Built an edge-native orchestration layer on Cloudflare Workers (Durable Objects, KV, Service Bindings) managing persistent sessions, smart routing, and real-time state synchronization across a decentralized network."
      - "Architected “Motr,” a Go-to-WASM cryptographic enclave running in client-side Web Workers, handling MPC and signing without exposing private keys to the main thread."
