Engineer and ecosystem builder with over a decade focused on decentralized infrastructure. From early blockchain platforms to foundational Cosmos tooling.
Contributed to the backend and frontend of Waves, one of the earliest platforms enabling anyone to issue custom tokens and run decentralized applications on a blockchain — following one of the most successful ICOs of its era.
Played a major role in developing the Lisk CLI — the primary command-line interface and developer tooling for the Lisk blockchain platform, which focused on JavaScript developers building sidechain applications.
Joined Tendermint in 2020 and spent more than five years deeply involved in the Cosmos ecosystem. Worked across engineering, documentation, and ecosystem development.
Co-founded SG-1, serving as technical lead and devops lead. SG-1 operates secure, enterprise-grade validators for 100,000+ delegators across 9+ Cosmos networks — with a zero-slashing track record — while building open-source tooling, educational resources, and contributing to ecosystem reliability and developer enablement.
Focus has always been on infrastructure and developer experience that enables broader adoption.
The all-in-one platform to build, launch, and maintain sovereign blockchains powered by Cosmos SDK.
The most widely used framework for building application-specific blockchains with native interoperability.
Terminal user interface for exploring and interacting with Cosmos SDK blockchains.
JavaScript implementation of BIP44 for Cosmos, built for development, education, and testing.
Tool that analyzes blocks on Ignite-powered Cosmos chains. Helps developers and operators understand chain activity.
Exploring persistent memory systems for AI agents (“AI that remembers”). Applying lessons from distributed systems and developer tooling to emerging AI infrastructure.
Authored and contributed to official documentation and hands-on tutorials, including tokenfactory module guides and chain maintenance best practices — lowering the barrier for developers entering the Cosmos ecosystem.
Practical tutorials on scaffolding Cosmos SDK chains, tokenfactory modules, unit testing, and deployment best practices.
