Certified Blockchain Architect™ · Lead Blockchain Engineer
Building secure, scalable, enterprise-grade blockchain systems across Ethereum, Solana, Stellar, and Hyperledger.
I architect and ship enterprise blockchain platforms for banking, fintech, and regulated digital ecosystems. Currently Lead Blockchain Engineer at McLaren Strategic Ventures, where I lead cross-functional teams designing production-grade DLT systems — covering protocol selection, smart-contract architecture, performance benchmarking, and backend integration.
Ten years across full-stack, server-side, and protocol-level engineering, with the last several years focused on enterprise blockchain delivery and, more recently, embedding agentic AI workflows into the SDLC.
Most of my recent work lives in private/enterprise repositories. This profile showcases public OSS contributions, references, and selected case studies.
| Domain | Focus |
|---|---|
| Enterprise Blockchain | Hyperledger Besu, permissioned EVM networks, consensus tuning |
| Multi-Chain Engineering | Ethereum, Solana, Stellar — DApps, wallets, on-chain integrations |
| Smart Contracts | Solidity, security-first design, upgradeability patterns |
| Performance Engineering | Hyperledger Caliper benchmarking, throughput/latency tuning |
| Backend Architecture | Node.js, REST/GraphQL APIs, event-driven systems, PostgreSQL/MongoDB |
| AI-Augmented Delivery | LLM orchestration, agentic workflows, Claude Code in engineering pipelines |
