Check out my latest work
I've worked on a variety of projects, from simple websites to complex web applications. Here are a few of my favorites.
Unified configuration management library for Rust that seamlessly integrates environment variables, configuration files, and CLI arguments behind one ergonomic API. So an application's config layer doesn't need three different conventions to work consistently across environments.
Open-source blockchain infrastructure framework for the Starknet ecosystem. Built complete metrics system for live validator nodes with real-time monitoring and health state capture. Implemented robust chain reorganization handling for production validator scenarios.
AI-powered semantic intelligence layer for an enterprise low-code platform. Led team from solo prototype to 8+ member production team. Integrated Claude API for semantic understanding and intelligent workflow automation. Delivered multiple validated use cases for AI-enhanced workflow processes.
Complete redesign of authentication infrastructure for an enterprise SaaS platform. Implemented SAML identity provider support, Active Directory synchronization, and cross-platform identity sync. Enabled the platform to serve enterprise customers with SSO and identity management.

Contributing to open source projects and solving meaningful problems in the community. Here are some of my contributions and bounties.
cognis
Open Source - Rust / AI
Rust implementation of the LangChain ecosystem — rustchain-core, rustchain, langgraph, and deepagents in native Rust. Designed for building agentic LLM applications with type-safe, zero-cost abstractions and first-class async.
lighter-rs
Open Source - Rust / DeFi
Production-ready Rust SDK for the Lighter Protocol order book DEX. Implements Poseidon2 hashing and Schnorr signatures, supports market/limit/stop-loss/take-profit orders, with 41 unit tests and mainnet-verified transactions.
paradex-rs
Open Source - Rust / DeFi
Unofficial Rust SDK for Paradex, a decentralized perpetuals exchange. Provides a typed API surface for trading, market data, and account management, suitable for high-throughput Rust trading bots and integrations.
claude-rs
Open Source - Rust / AI
Rust SDK for the Anthropic Claude API. Strongly-typed wrappers for messages, streaming, tool use, and prompt caching — designed for production Rust services that integrate Claude as a primitive rather than as an experiment.
Madara CI/CD & Developer Experience
Open Source - Starknet
Improved developer workflow and infrastructure. Migrated to Blacksmith CI (#754), fixed Docker container handling in build artifacts (#797), updated localstack GitHub Actions network config (#756), and added comprehensive Grafana monitoring and alerting (#781).
gonfig
Open Source - Rust
Unified configuration management library for Rust that seamlessly integrates environment variables, configuration files, and CLI arguments behind one ergonomic API. Built so an application's config layer doesn't need three different conventions to work consistently across environments.
Madara Worker & Queue Reliability
Open Source - Starknet
Enhanced orchestrator reliability with queue handling refactor (#667), worker initialization/shutdown handling (#676), self-healing mechanism for orphaned jobs (#722), transaction finality validation in StateUpdateJobHandler (#733), and SQS message version filtering (#774).
Madara Orchestrator - Core Infrastructure
Open Source - Starknet
Major contributions to Madara blockchain framework orchestrator. Enhanced MongoDB client as L3 pre-setup (#653), refactored Resource trait to accept Layer references (#664), integrated L3 support end-to-end (#654), and implemented Atlantic mock server with dummy verifier for L3 testing (#764).
Golem Cloud Bug Fix
Open Source Bounty
Completed GitHub bounty issue for Golem Cloud (golemcloud/golem#1189). Delivered high-value solution recognized by the open source community for its quality and impact on the project.
