Full-Stack Engineer

I build full-stack applications and systems end to end, from polished web and mobile experiences to scalable backends and real-time infrastructure. I work primarily with React, Node.js, Rust, and TypeScript, with production experience across web, mobile, and blockchain.

About

I like working on problems where the details matter. I've built real-time applications, event-driven backends, distributed systems, and on-chain infrastructure, often taking a system from the initial architecture all the way to production.

A lot of my work has involved concurrency, state consistency, networking, and reliability from settlement systems that need to be correct every time to services that process large volumes of events in real time.

I enjoy understanding how things work underneath the abstractions. That's led me to build with Rust and low-level networking alongside the more product-focused side of full-stack development. I care less about using a particular stack and more about choosing the right tools to build something simple, reliable, and maintainable.

Experience

Co-founder & CTO · Epoch Dec 2025 – Aug 2026
  • Built a private prediction market and sportsbook protocol on Solana using Arcium MPC, with a non-custodial settlement architecture and funds secured in program PDAs.
  • Built the Rust backend, on-chain indexer, and real-time WebSocket infrastructure, including cosigner-verified odds and one-shot settlement.
  • Processed $2.5k+ in real mainnet volume with zero fund loss; won a Solana privacy hackathon and received a grant from Superteam.

Projects I built

async-runtime Rust

Minimal async runtime built from scratch in Rust, implementing Future/Waker primitives, a kqueue-based reactor, timer futures, and async TCP directly over libc. Built to understand async execution at the syscall boundary.

kickoff Anchor, Rust, TypeScript, Postgres

Telegram-native on-chain sportsbook for group chats. Custodial wallet UX, live score narration, and fully automated settlement with a fuzz-tested conservation invariant.

rsocket Rust

WebSocket protocol implementation built from raw TCP, no external libraries.

RentKhata React Native, Supabase, Expo

Built an iOS rental management app for property owners to manage tenants, buildings, rent, and payments. Added multi-building support and one-tap WhatsApp bill sharing for day-to-day workflows.

I Thought Encryption Was Enough. It Wasn't. Dec 2025

Why encryption alone doesn't protect secrets in memory, and what developers often miss.
