Blockchain Infrastructure Engineer

Building production systems for cross-chain interoperability — including validators, relayers, and smart contracts.

What I Do

Own and drive the development of cross-chain infrastructure connecting Neo N3 and Neo X.

Design and operate bridge protocols, validator and relayer systems for production environments.

Lead system design and implementation across components, ensuring correctness and reliability.

Selected Work

Examples of infrastructure work focused on interoperability.

Bridge Infrastructure

Designed and implemented cross-chain bridge architecture (token and message bridging) connecting Neo N3 and Neo X, including message verification, routing, and execution.

Validator & Relayer Systems

Led development of validator and relayer systems to track chain state and submit transactions with clear failure handling and strong correctness guarantees.

Developer Tooling / SDKs

Owned and drove development of neow3j (Neo N3 SDK and compiler), and built tooling to standardize integrations and reduce operational overhead.
