Blockchain technology has applications well beyond cryptocurrencies, and the broader use cases for distributed public ledgers are still being defined.                                                                       

My experience with blockchain technology began with a C/C++ implementation of IPFS, a distributed file system.

I subsequently joined the core development team of the Bitshares blockchain, one of the earliest proof-of-stake networks, contributing to code review, test frameworks, and inter-chain communication. My primary contribution was implementing their HTLC (Hashed Timelock Contract) protocol.

I also contributed to Komodo, a Bitcoin fork, where my work focused on improving test coverage and removing accumulated technical debt, supporting the project’s broader goal of helping smaller chains defend against 51% attacks.

Both engagements placed significant emphasis on network performance, hard fork testing, and code quality.

Separately, I developed a prediction model and peer-to-peer network map for a client pursuing a front-running strategy on a delegated proof-of-stake (dPoS) chain.
