I’m a senior blockchain protocol engineer and technical lead with deep experience building and running production-grade blockchain infrastructure across Cosmos SDK, Ethereum, and Layer 2 ecosystems. Over the past several years, I’ve designed and shipped complex Web3 systems ranging from custom chains and DeFi protocols to autonomous on-chain applications and execution-layer modifications. I modified op-geth to support a multilanguage execution model by building the first Universal K Machine on Optimism L2; I developed one of the first autonomous world tApps on Optimism L2, and launched a Cosmos SDK NFT chain that scaled to over 100 validators alongside a cross-platform mobile application. I’ve operated more than 15 Cosmos SDK chains as a node operator/validator, built derivatives infrastructure in CosmWasm including an options protocol that won a global hackathon on the Nibiru chain, and led engineering initiatives spanning smart contracts, devops, protocol design, and infrastructure architecture. Before focusing fully on blockchain, I worked as a Java developer, solutions architect, and engineering/product leader delivering complex systems for Fortune 500 organizations in sectors including oil & gas and enterprise technology. This background allows me to bridge deep protocol engineering with real-world business and product execution. Today, I work with startups and protocols as a hands-on technical lead, protocol engineer, and fractional CTO — helping teams design scalable blockchain systems, launch chains and dApps, and solve complex infrastructure challenges.

Two programmers walk into an eatery in Saudi Arabia. Senior dev says, “Singles section - I’ll be back,” heads to the restroom. Newbie confidently deploys himself… into the secluded family/ladies section. Senior returns, can’t find him, panic-calls the street police. Police walk in, find the newbie happily reading the menu like API docs… then start laughing - because they’re literally to arrest him
