engineer. builder. onchain.
I work on payments, bridging, and staking at Polygon. Outside work, I build practical AI agent systems, share what I learn, and keep things useful over flashy.

North star
Build reliable systems that help people move faster — onchain and with AI.
How I work
- Public by default. If it can help others and is not sensitive, it should be in-channel, not buried in DMs.
- Direct and clear. Cut fluff, get to the ask, and respect people's time.
- Async first for documentation and reuse. Sync when collaboration genuinely benefits.
- Meetings need value. I should be giving value or getting value I cannot get from notes, transcript, or recording.
- Feedback should be direct and honest. Understand the why, then help unblock.
- Priorities: ownership and speed.
