I’m a senior backend and systems engineer with strong experience in AI integrations, blockchain infrastructure, automation, and complex API-driven platforms. I focus on building reliable, production-ready systems — not just prototypes. My work includes AI-powered applications, custom agent runtimes, backend architecture, blockchain and Web3 integrations, trading and market-making systems, automation platforms, scraping pipelines, and custom internal tools. My background includes building custom crypto market-making infrastructure, working on EVM blockchain setup and configuration, delivering off-chain and on-chain trading solutions, and leading technical execution across backend-heavy projects. I’m comfortable owning architecture, implementation, integrations, and the practical decisions needed to turn an idea into a working product. Core areas I work in: - AI and OpenAI/LLM integrations - Backend systems and API architecture - Python, Node.js, automation, and infrastructure logic - Blockchain, Web3, and smart contract-connected platforms - Trading systems, bots, and exchange integrations - Data extraction and workflow automation I work best with clients who need a developer that can understand the real problem quickly, recommend the right technical approach, and execute with minimal hand-holding.

Senior Rust developer and full-stack engineer specializing in Solana and EVM blockchain development, with a background building high-performance trading and financial infrastructure. I build production blockchain systems end-to-end — from Solana programs and EVM smart contracts to the backend infrastructure and frontend clients around them. My core stack is Rust, TypeScript/React, and Node.js, applied across DeFi, trading systems, and Web3 products. What I bring: - Rust systems programming — high-performance, fault-tolerant backend architecture built for correctness and low latency, not just scripts that work in a demo. - EVM smart contract development — ICO/token contracts, prediction and competition contracts, NFT staking and metaverse game contracts, deployed and submitted for third-party security audit (CertiK). - Solana program development — on-chain programs for gaming and trading use cases. Multi-chain experience — Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Sui. Full-stack delivery — React/TypeScript frontends, Node.js/Rust backends, so I can ship a complete product, not just the contract layer. - Trading & market infrastructure background — currently architecting a Rust-based crypto market-making and trading infrastructure platform, giving me real depth in low-latency systems, exchange integrations, and financial-grade reliability that most "smart contract only" developers don't have.

Full-Stack AI Engineer | SaaS Architect | Blockchain & Automation Specialist $100K+ earned | 80+ projects delivered | 5 live products generating active revenue Most developers ship features. I build systems that scale, retain users, and generate revenue after launch. With 10 years of experience operating at CTO level, I have taken products from zero to paying customers for founders across the US, UK, UAE, and Singapore , across AI SaaS, Web3, automation infrastructure, and complex cloud applications. The projects I am most proud of are not the ones that launched. They are the ones still running two years later without a costly rebuild. That outcome starts with architecture decisions made on day one , before a single line of production code is written. Most technical debt, scaling failures, and security incidents are predictable. My job is to make sure they do not happen to your product. Recent work includes: ✅ RYNANCE: AI trading platform analyzing 200K+ influencers in real time, auto-executing trades on Binance, Bybit, and OKX. 4,287 waitlist users. SOC 2 compliant. 99.9% uptime. ✅ Copin: Copy-trading platform with 105,800+ trades completed in production. ✅ Baby-Sol : Served as CTO. Crossed $100M market cap in 4 weeks.
