Engineering leader and ex-CTO. I build regulated fintech, crypto infrastructure, and AI-native systems.
I currently lead engineering for a regulated (ASIC/AUSTRAC) digital-banking platform, covering payments, KYC/AML, money movement and ledger. Before that I was co-founder and CTO of NIFTRON, a digital-asset company where I wrote the entire initial codebase myself (Solidity, Node and Go), then built and led the founding engineering team, including a custodial wallet. Eight years in, my work sits at a rare intersection: regulated fintech + crypto/custody + AI-native engineering (agentic tooling with Claude and MCP in the real SDLC).
- 🏦 Regulated money movement, custody, KYC/AML and ledger systems
- ⛓️ Multi-chain infrastructure: indexers, wallets, account abstraction, Solidity
- 🤖 AI-native delivery: agents in production, agentic testing, MCP tooling

| Project | What it is |
|---|---|
| niftron-sdk | The published TypeScript SDK for NIFTRON, the tokenization platform I built from zero: lets any app connect to NIFTRON to mint and manage tokens and integrate custodial-wallet and auth services. |
| evm-indexer | Production-grade multi-chain EVM event indexer in Go: reorg-safe checkpointing, safe-head finality, concurrent log fetching, REST + WebSocket + Prometheus, with a Redis-streamed TypeScript analytics service and an MCP server. |
| ink-indexer | On-chain event indexer for Ink Chain, decoding DEX swaps in real time. TypeScript, GraphQL, Prisma, viem. |
| stellar-tutorials | Reference code snippets for every core Stellar operation, in Go. |
