Software engineer · Currently at Polygon

I’m Shan.
I like making
useful things.

I build products, tools, and workflows that make complicated things easier to use.

My work has included wallet analytics at Cielo, governance at Aragon, and bridging and staking at Polygon. Outside work, I tend to build around whatever has caught my attention: personal agents, useful little tools, or sorting out teams for our weekly football games.

A few things I’ve made

Things I’ve made

A few favourites

For the weekly kickabout

FairSide

Picking teams was always a bit of a mess, so I built something to help. FairSide balances ability, fitness, attack, defence, and positions to make two evenly matched teams.

Built for our games. Still getting used in other people’s.

Pick your teams

An experiment that made me laugh

RoastMaster

Upload a photo. Get roasted or excessively complimented. Five levels of intensity, and a lot of experimenting with models and prompts to make each one feel different.

One of my favourite things to tinker with.

Try a roast (or a glaze)

Skills worth borrowing.

Reusable agent skills for remembering context, researching, building software, and getting things done. Use them as a starting point and make them yours.

Also: a collection of CLI tools for transport, company data, fuel, and Parliament.

PolygonCurrent

Bridging and staking interfaces, followed by backend modernisation, production migrations, and reusable tools and workflows for the team.

Aragon

Modular governance applications: token wrapping, delegation, and reusable components that make complex onchain flows easier to use.

Cielo

Helped take a Telegram bot into a full wallet discovery and analytics application, supporting its expansion across multiple chains.

Before that: Let’s Eat, Library of Things, and NorthLink Digital.

Making something?
I’d like to hear about it.

Especially useful tools, personal agents, and ideas that make someone’s day a little easier.
