Brink — Intent-Based DeFi

Signature-based DCA, stop-loss, and limit orders on Ethereum

Lead backend engineer for a suite of decentralized apps pioneering intent-based interactions. Users sign typed messages; an off-chain executor network competes to fulfill them on-chain across Ethereum and L2s.

  • Owned backend, SDK, and execution infrastructure end-to-end
  • Pioneered the intent-based pattern for trustless DCA, stop-loss, and limit orders
  • Shipped on Ethereum mainnet and multiple Layer 2s

Boomerang — Universal Login

EIP-1077 / EIP-1078 Web3 UX, three years before AA was cool

Lead Blockchain Architect on Skedaddle's Boomerang platform. Re-architected onboarding around the Universal Login Standard, contributed upstream to UniversalLoginSDK, and shipped the BoomerangSDK node library for integrators.

  • Caught a front-running vuln and rewrote the contracts from scratch — cheaper, safer, more flexible
  • Open-source contributions to UniversalLoginSDK
  • Best UX at ETHBerlin for the EIP-1077 integration

Home Ethereum Validator

Solo-staking on my own hardware

Running a home validator keeps me close to the protocol-level realities of the network I engineer around — consensus dynamics, client diversity, MEV-Boost trade-offs, and slashing risk.

  • Solo-staked on residential hardware — no third-party operator in the loop
  • Hands-on with the full client stack (execution + consensus)

Claude Code Builds

AI-assisted prototyping for blockchain & developer tooling

Active experiments using Claude Code to compress the build cycle on smart-contract integrations, on-chain data tools, and developer-focused web apps. This site is one of them.

  • Tight iteration loop on greenfield ideas — ship the smallest credible version, then refine
  • Pattern-spotting: which problems benefit from AI-in-the-loop vs. hand-rolled

Let's build something

I'm especially interested in agentic infra, novel cryptographic UX, and anything where the on-chain and AI sides actually need each other.
