Work History

Where I've spent my full-time hours.

  1. Senior Blockchain Data Engineer (Contract) @ Fidelity Investments

    Dec 2024 — Present · Boston, MA

    A director-level contract engagement architecting the on-chain data platform that indexes Ethereum and Solana staking, consensus, and execution data for Fidelity's research and analyst teams.

    • Architect and operate the on-chain data platform that indexes Ethereum and Solana staking rewards, consensus, and execution data for the firm's research and analyst teams, running on Snowflake, Kafka, EKS, Node.js, Oracle, and PostgreSQL.
    • Ingest and transform third-party blockchain data vendor feeds into the datasets analysts work from: land the feed, normalize it, and publish downstream.
    • Built the queries behind projected activation and projected withdrawal, modeling validator entry and exit queue timing from raw on-chain data.
    • Built the ingestion that moved a digital asset management entity's data from Oracle into Snowflake, with automated data-quality checks between source and landing.

  2. Lead Backend / Smart Contract Engineer @ Brink

    May 2021 — Dec 2024 · Boston, MA

    Owned backend, SDK, and execution infrastructure for multiple decentralized applications, pioneering intent-based interactions across Ethereum and its Layer 2s.

    • Shipped novel signature-based order types (stop-loss, limit, and DCA for both ERC-20 tokens and NFTs) where users sign an intent, with no transaction, and an executor settles it on-chain.
    • Pioneered this off-chain-signing / on-chain-settlement model across Ethereum and multiple Layer 2s, an early take on the intents paradigm now mainstream in DeFi.
    • Built CroutonSwap.com, an intent-centric application for recurring on-chain token swaps, letting users execute trades incrementally over hours, days, or months with no up-front deposit and without paying gas.
    • Led a team of 3 engineers, designing, deploying, and maintaining the production mainnet smart contracts (Hardhat and Foundry), executor infrastructure, and customer-facing SDKs end to end.

  3. Lead Integrations Engineer @ Reggora

    Nov 2019 — May 2021 · Boston, MA

    Led a 5-engineer team and owned technical integrations across Reggora's platform.

    • Led a team of 5 engineers and spearheaded the Encompass and Byte integrations into the Reggora platform.
    • Designed an event-sourcing architecture (consumer nodes, SQS, SNS, DynamoDB) that scaled the platform horizontally to support 250+ mortgage lenders and made platform state fully rebuildable by replaying the event log, which the prior architecture could not do.
    • Delivered features end to end across the stack with React, Flask, and MongoDB.

  4. Lead Smart Contract Engineer @ Skedaddle

    Aug 2018 — Sep 2019 · Boston, MA

    Architected Skedaddle's decentralized ratings app and ERC-20 on the Universal Login Standard (EIP-1077 / EIP-1078), a then-novel approach to Web3 UX.

    • Architected Skedaddle's decentralized ratings app and ERC-20 on the Universal Login Standard (EIP-1077 / EIP-1078); contributed to the open-source UniversalLoginSDK.
    • Deployed smart contracts to testnet and built the full feature flow end-to-end, from SDK to frontend.

  5. Senior Software Engineer @ Hitachi Vantara

    Jan 2017 — Aug 2018 · Waltham, MA

    Modernized internal build tooling and shaped the high-level design of Hitachi Vantara's Pentaho platform.

    • Migrated internal projects from Ant to Maven and modernized internal build tooling.
    • Shaped the high-level design of worker nodes that horizontally scale the Pentaho ETL platform.

  6. Software Development Engineer @ Amazon Robotics

    May 2015 — Jan 2017 · Westborough, MA

    Built large-scale cloud data solutions and cross-database validation tooling for the Enterprise Data Warehouse team.

    • Built scalable cloud data solutions on DynamoDB, Redshift, and S3 for the Enterprise Data Warehouse team.
    • Developed web tools that validated data integrity across multiple cloud databases.
