I build backend systems — the kind that sit under products and quietly do the heavy lifting. For the last few years that has meant APIs, SDKs, and transaction infrastructure, mostly in Rust and TypeScript.
These days I spend most of my time around Solana and Rust, drawn to the plumbing of markets — DeFi, high-frequency trading systems, and enough economics to understand why any of it holds together.
