- Directed the technical strategy and execution for a cross-functional engineering team in the co-development of Beam, a high-performance, cross-platform mobile messaging application built with React Native. - Led the architecture and hands-on development of Beam, a cross-platform end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) mobile messaging application built in React Native, directing a 6-engineer cross-functional team across mobile, infrastructure, and product.
- Architected the secure messaging infrastructure by heavily customizing and integrating the decentralized Matrix protocol, delivering robust, end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) communication that ensures absolute data privacy and censorship resistance. - Architected and managed a self-hosted Matrix homeserver, customizing the decentralized Matrix protocol to deliver end-to-end encrypted (E2EE), censorship-resistant messaging with self-custodied message history.
- Pioneered Web3 identity integration by completely replacing traditional, centralized authentication (emails/phone numbers) with Sonr Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs). This enabled passwordless onboarding, self-sovereign user profiles, and seamless cryptographic key exchanges. - Engineered a passkey-based authentication layer as a drop-in replacement for the Matrix authorization server, swapping centralized email/phone login for WebAuthn passkey wallets and Sonr Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) to enable passwordless, self-sovereign onboarding and cryptographic key exchange.
- Bridged the gap between complex cryptography and consumer UX, guiding the frontend and product teams to abstract away the underlying decentralized routing and key management, resulting in a frictionless, "Web2-grade" chat experience. - Abstracted decentralized routing and cryptographic key management behind a Web2-grade chat UX, guiding frontend and product teams to deliver a frictionless messaging experience over fully decentralized identity and transport infrastructure.
