Senior Backend & Blockchain Engineer | Node.js, TypeScript, EVM Infrastructure
I have been building software professionally since 2017, primarily TypeScript/Node.js backends and Ethereum systems. My strongest work sits where financial logic, distributed transaction processing, security controls, and production operations meet: stablecoins, tokenization, wallet/signing flows, permissions, deterministic simulation, monitoring, and incident response.
- Backend and distributed systems: Node.js, TypeScript, APIs, event-driven/asynchronous pipelines, workers, IPC, deterministic simulation, Docker, Linux, and CI/CD
- Blockchain infrastructure: Ethereum/EVM, transaction orchestration, wallet/signing flows, smart-contract integrations, ERC-20/721, payment channels, and onchain/offchain settlement
- Security and reliability: role-based permissions, governance controls, threat modeling, automated testing, monitoring, incident response, and deployment safeguards
- Applied AI and developer tooling: coding-agent evaluation, test/grader design, retrieval-based code analysis, and agentic repository workflows
