At Indexify, I define the technical strategy for our self-custody investing platform, aligning complex blockchain engineering with core business objectives. By championing LLM-assisted development via Claude Code, I’ve increased engineering velocity by 60%, setting new standards for rapid delivery. I am currently leading a pivot from third-party APIs to a vertically integrated, in-house blockchain indexing solution, slashing data latency by 90% while ensuring 100% data sovereignty. My leadership focuses on integrating AI models for asset selection and maintaining a gold standard for security.

➥ Defining the core technical vision and architecting the scalable, secure system for our one-click, self-custody platform and on-chain asset baskets.

➥ Driving the engineering roadmap in partnership with executive leadership to ensure deep alignment between technical strategy and business goals.

➥ Championing LLM-assisted development using Claude Code to accelerate engineering velocity and establish benchmarks for rapid, high-quality delivery.

➥ Leading the design of secure wallet infrastructure and the Gemini-powered AI engine driving intelligent on-chain asset selection.

➥ Spearheading the transition from third-party APIs to a vertically integrated, in-house blockchain indexing architecture for maximum performance.

➥ Establishing org-wide coding standards, architectural patterns, and security protocols to ensure platform integrity and backend robustness.

➥ Overseeing the delivery of pixel-perfect UIs, translating Figma and AI Studio mockups into high-performance interfaces powered by real-time data.

➥ Building and mentoring a high-performing engineering team, cultivating a culture of technical excellence and rapid innovation in a startup environment.

➥ Optimizing data pipelines and adopting modern frameworks for efficient, proprietary on-chain data processing and platform performance.

During my time at SendaRide, I proficiently developed front-end solutions with AngularJS, PHP, and jQuery, while mastering modern frameworks like React and Angular. On the back end, I specialized in crafting robust solutions with Node.js and Express, integrating them seamlessly with MongoDB for efficient database management.

➥ Adapted seamlessly to a diverse tech stack, including legacy AngularJS, PHP, and jQuery, as well as modern tools like Node.js and Express for API endpoints. Leveraged MongoDB and Mongoose for efficient database management.

➥ Led initiatives to enhance security measures, conducting a guerrilla security audit of our remote monitoring software to fortify our defenses and ensure alignment with established policies. Identified a lack of access control measures on company hardware.

➥ Drove the rapid release of numerous features, often working late into the night to meet stringent deadlines. Overcame challenges posed by legacy codebases and facilitated the implementation of new functionalities.

➥ Developed a comprehensive suite of unit tests for API endpoints, guaranteeing seamless deployment of features to production without delays or bugs.

As a contractor at SendaRide, I tackled the intricacies of a complex codebase, adeptly maneuvering between legacy AngularJS and modern frameworks like React and Angular. Leveraging tools like Android emulator and mitmproxy, I reverse engineered the company's Android app to streamline API documentation, ultimately contributing to smoother development processes and rapid feature deployment.

➥ Navigated a diverse tech stack, including legacy AngularJS, PHP, and jQuery, alongside modern tools like Node.js and Express for API endpoints. Employed Android emulator and mitmproxy to reverse engineer the company's Android app, enhancing documentation of the API flow amidst codebase complexities.

➥ Spearheaded efforts to streamline development processes, leveraging insights gained from reverse engineering to improve understanding of API interactions and facilitate smoother integration with back-end systems.

➥ Played a pivotal role in driving iterative improvements, collaborating closely with the team to overcome challenges posed by the existing codebase and ensure efficient implementation of new features.

I maximized personal strengths in designing and implementing back-end code with Node.js and Express. I actively supported the transition to the new billing provider Ordway by composing webhooks and microservices to engage with Ordway APIs.

➥ Demonstrated expertise in building 2 major client-facing features and 10+ components with TypeScript (React and Angular-based on Figma designs).

➥ Developed a client-facing billing portal to interface with new Ordway billing services.

➥ Member of a small team of 2-3 migrating company infrastructure from 1 billing vendor to another; worked with a new vendor to ensure the new product met the needs of all the users.

➥ Completed project within a 2-month timeframe while being on time and within budget.

I employed Ethers.js to shuttle data back and forth from smart contracts on EVM-compatible blockchains.

𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬

➥ Built frontend and backend components for a crypto swap platform called UmamiSwap on the Binance Smart Chain, using React, Express, TypeScript, Node.js, and Ethers.js. I wrote a few microservices in Go and I was getting a knack for it, but ultimately it was not a large part of the development cycle.

➥ Built a static content analysis tool which compared verified smart contracts on BSCScan against known malware samples, ensuring users could check the safety of their potential investments before putting real money on them.

➥ Created a component for the company, DefiPixel, to issue analytics and specific marketing data allowing the website to associate a user’s crypto wallet with an IP address and associate other wallets they’ve interacted with; delivered the MVP proof of concept and logged pertinent data across all affiliated web properties.

➥ Conceptualized and built 15+ React components, streamlining functionality, accessibility, and ease of interaction with blockchain endpoints.

➥ Constructed a custom Web3 authentication scheme to enable users to authenticate against the UmamiSwap backend using their MetaMask wallets. This auth scheme used a unique signed message consisting of random unicode Braille characters, to avoid scaring the user by presenting e.g. random hex or alphanumeric gibberish.
