01 — Approach

A note on how I build.

Spec-driven · agentic · regulator-grade.
Secure, transparent compliance & payments systems.

I architect high-performance, full-stack distributed systems that live at the intersection of blockchain compliance, DeFi protocols and real-time data analytics — Python microservices on Kubernetes, Snowflake and Databricks pipelines, Kafka-orchestrated event streams, and a daily practice of Claude Code, Claude API, agentic and spec-driven workflows that consistently deliver 3×–5× productivity gains.

DeFi Solutions Developer @ Solidus Labs

R&D compliance for NYDFS-class clients. Architected the end-to-end on-chain monitoring system for Circle (USDC), integrating CCTP, CCTP V2 and Circle Gateway data plus Solana ingestion. Built multiple watchlist versions on Databricks with Docker-packaged Kubernetes workers, designed Snowflake pipelines, and integrated multiple Flipside Crypto data shares. Scaled Python microservices, led the TokenSniffer UI redesign, and adopted Claude Code + Claude API workflows for 3×–5× productivity gains.
