Open to consulting
5+ years building DeFi protocols at the core — AMM invariants, liquidation engines, liquid staking, MEV systems. Core contributor to Astroport and Mars Protocol at Delphi Digital. Currently building MineBTC — a geopolitical prediction game on Solana where AI-driven doge NFTs evolve through decentralized compute.
Currently Building
MineBTC — Geopolitical Prediction Game on Solana
12 real-world nations clash in 60-second arena rounds. Players bet SOL on their faction, mine $dogeBTC, and evolve AI-generated doge NFTs with 256-bit on-chain DNA. The NFTs improve over time via decentralized compute — each doge is a self-evolving AI organism. Built on Solana's Anchor framework with a deflationary tokenomics engine and Bittensor-inspired AI compute for doge intelligence.
Protocols Built
Consulting
DeFi Protocol Design
AMM invariants (Curve-style, Balancer-style, concentrated liquidity), liquidation mechanics, flash loan design, bonding curves, tokenomics modeling.
Smart Contract Engineering
Production-grade Rust/CosmWasm, Anchor/Solana, Move (Sui/Aptos). Architecture review, security audit, optimization, and full implementation.
Liquidation & MEV Infrastructure
Low-latency liquidation bots, mempool-aware execution, arbitrage systems. Built infra that survived Terra's $50B collapse without bad debt.
AI × Blockchain
AI agent integrations for non-custodial wallets (Vultisig GoLang plugins), on-chain AI NFT systems, decentralized compute pipelines for AI inference.
