Experience
10+ years in engineering — started in QA automation and test infrastructure, evolved into distributed backend systems and blockchain infrastructure, and now applying AI systems engineering to test automation, observability, and developer tooling.
Software engineer responsible for testing, reliability engineering, and AI-assisted infrastructure tooling across distributed blockchain systems including Creditcoin (Substrate), EVM smart contract infrastructure, and Solana integrations. Led development of AI-powered engineering assistants and blockchain observability systems, combining LLM pipelines, semantic retrieval, and infrastructure telemetry to improve debugging and operational workflows for distributed engineering teams.
- ▸Designed Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures where blockchain telemetry, infrastructure logs, smart contract repositories, and internal engineering documentation were chunked, embedded with semantic embedding models, indexed into Chroma vector databases, and retrieved through similarity search during AI reasoning workflows
- ▸Built LangChain-based AI agents capable of retrieving engineering context, querying vector stores, analyzing logs, and generating explanations for infrastructure incidents
- ▸Developed Python-based AI services integrated with CI/CD pipelines capable of analyzing build failures, deployment issues, and infrastructure anomalies across distributed blockchain environments
- ▸Implemented AI-assisted smart contract security workflows where Solidity contracts were parsed, embedded, indexed, and compared against known vulnerability patterns to assist engineers during security audits
- ▸Created and maintained CI/CD pipelines on Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions for testing using a multi-Docker container approach
- ▸Implemented Playwright automation test suite that later integrated MCP for AI-driven front-end automated testing
- ▸Built backend API automation suites in C# to validate distributed backend services supporting blockchain infrastructure
- ▸Created Node.js / TypeScript CLI testing frameworks used to validate SDKs, indexers, and developer tooling
- ▸Built Hardhat-based testing environments to simulate decentralized exchange activity and validate indexer correctness
- ▸Implemented automated testing pipelines validating blockchain events, database states, and notification systems
- ▸Created Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions YAML pipelines to validate complex multi-Docker image testing frameworks for production release workflows
- ▸Created comprehensive End-to-End tests from API and smart contract interaction to Database SQL validation using dependency injection services
- ▸Designed and executed performance testing strategies for both blockchain nodes and backend API infrastructure
- ▸Built custom performance testing frameworks for distributed backend systems; implemented load testing using Python and Locust to simulate high-traffic API workloads
- ▸Performed performance testing of Substrate blockchain pallets and extrinsics to measure execution performance and system throughput
- ▸Analyzed latency, throughput, and system bottlenecks across blockchain infrastructure and backend services
- ▸Designed transaction validation frameworks verifying correctness of blockchain state transitions and emitted events across EVM and Substrate environments
- ▸Built and maintained blockchain indexers and event processing pipelines used by backend systems to interpret on-chain activity
- ▸Tested cross-chain bridge infrastructure connecting EVM networks, Substrate chains, and Solana environments
- ▸Developed automated smart contract integration testing frameworks for Solidity contracts and decentralized exchange integrations
- ▸Deployed and tested Uniswap V3 contracts, building Hardhat-based environments to validate SDK behavior, swaps, liquidity operations, and routing logic
- ▸Developed and tested custom smart contracts on EVM and Solana to simulate production workflows and validate backend integrations
- ▸Collaborated closely with backend, blockchain protocol, and DevOps engineers to design testing strategies and validation frameworks ensuring reliability of distributed blockchain infrastructure across development, staging, and production
- ▸Built developer tooling that allowed engineering teams to reproduce complex blockchain transaction flows locally, improving debugging workflows and reducing issue resolution time
- ▸Designed automated validation systems ensuring consistency between on-chain events, indexer outputs, backend database states, and notification pipelines across distributed services
- ▸Contributed to internal engineering documentation and architectural discussions around blockchain infrastructure reliability, AI-assisted diagnostics, and testing strategies for complex multi-service systems
Hxro Labs
Software Engineer (Trading Infrastructure & Automation)
Engineering contributor to Hxro, one of the first binary options trading platforms built on the Solana blockchain, supporting real-time trading workflows and high-frequency market data.
