I build the backend systems that move money, and the platforms they run on.

Go, Rust, TypeScript and Python. Right now I'm building FX liquidity routing at WeWire and Go and Rust bindings for Kraken's API SDK. I trained as a mechatronics engineer, and I'd like to take AI into robotics next.

FX liquidity & banking rails

WEWIRE · 2026–now

A rate-provider layer with global and per-customer routing, a signed, replay-protected regulator API, and a bank integration cut over without disrupting live accounts.

Reports engine & platform overhaul

ROCKSTEADY · 2026

Replaced a Kubernetes Job per report with a Redis-backed persistent worker pool, and consolidated eight non-prod environments onto one shared host.

Token economics automation

STRIDE LABS · 2024–25

Automated buyback-and-burn every ten minutes with multi-pool swap routing and IBC transfers, plus a concentrated-liquidity subgraph moved to Goldsky.

~/bookflix
LIVE

A reading app for people who'd rather be in a book: free classics, a reader made for long nights, Listening Mode, and book clubs that never spoil a page. Behind it, a FastAPI backend serving Qwen recaps and glossaries, Kokoro voices and RAG over the book text.

~/ledgerd
BUILDING

A double-entry ledger in Rust. Idempotent transfers, multi-currency accounts, and invariants checked under deterministic simulation.

~/meridian
OPEN SOURCE

An intent matching engine: price-time-priority order book in Rust, EVM settlement contracts, and indexing across EVM and SVM chains.

trick → 256 nonces per storage slot · 256 fills cost one cold SLOAD
~/signet
SOON

EIP-712 typed data for Go where your struct is the schema. The type string, type hash and encoding are derived from the struct, so they can't drift apart.

~/lockedin
BUILDING

A focus tracker for macOS and iOS. Any app can report what you're doing over a local presence API, and an MCP server lets coding agents log the session for you.

swift · tauri · rust → powers the NOW panel above
~/bonding-curve
OPEN SOURCE

A hardened exponential bonding curve in Solidity: bounds on expWad, supply caps and transaction limits, with the safety-versus-flexibility trade-offs written down.

solidity · foundry → overflow and economic-attack review
~/p2p-intents
OPEN SOURCE

Swap intents matched peer to peer with no AMM slippage: partial fills, a five-minute matching window, and a Uniswap V3 fallback for whatever doesn't match.

Building something that moves money? I'd like to hear about it.
