Founding engineer, from 2022 til today

I build gasless, private money infrastructure on Sui: the Move contracts, the zero-knowledge layer, and the apps on top.

My latest work

Production systems, protocol infrastructure, and research prototypes, most of it live on mainnet.

Talise

Gasless, private, non-custodial dollar wallet on the Sui blockchain, live in production across web, iOS, and Android with 2,000+ accounts across 40+ countries. Placed 2nd in the DeFi & Payments track at Sui Overflow 2026 ($15,000), with $5,000+ in volume and 1,233 on-chain transactions. Founding engineer: architected and shipped 8 Move packages to mainnet (payments, claimable cheques, streaming, savings vaults, yield routing, payroll, automations, and a zero-knowledge shielded pool). Built a Groth16 shielded pool with Merkle-tree commitments and one-time nullifiers for private on-chain payments, a fully gasless experience via a sponsored-transaction gas station and zkLogin with client-side Secure Enclave keys, fiat on/off-ramps (Stripe, Bridge, Linq), DeFi routing (NAVI, WaterX, DeepBook, Cetus) behind a multi-source FX engine, and an in-app AI Copilot with user-owned memory on Walrus.

Deeplens

Trading hub and community dashboard built on Sui that tracks the DeepBook Points Program. Integrates Aftermath perpetuals, multi-DEX swaps, daily quests, and a real-time leaderboard. Composes PTBs across Aftermath and DEX aggregators so users complete swaps and perp opens in a single transaction. Backed by a grant from the Sui Foundation and live with active traders on mainnet.

IOTA Polling Indexer

Custom IOTA polling indexer demonstrating SDK-driven checkpoint ingestion with iota_graphql_client. Supports transaction and event filtering, PostgreSQL-backed storage, and bounded or continuous run modes. Implements idempotent restarts using durable database schema and checkpoint cursors. Aligned with bounty #517 acceptance criteria and explicitly avoids iota-data-ingestion-core. Merged into the official iotaledger/iota-rust-sdk repository as the canonical SDK indexer example.

What I actually do

The whole stack

Trained as a mechatronics engineer, so systems thinking goes into everything I architect.

Move smart contracts

Payments, streaming, savings vaults, yield routing, payroll and automations. Eight packages live on Sui mainnet.

Zero-knowledge systems

A Groth16 shielded pool with Merkle-tree commitments and one-time nullifiers for private on-chain payments.

Product engineering

The apps on top: Next.js on web, SwiftUI on iOS, gasless flows via sponsored transactions and zkLogin.

Protocol infrastructure

Rust indexers and DeFi routing across NAVI, WaterX, DeepBook and Cetus behind a multi-source FX engine.

Let’s build it

Contract engineering, protocol design, or the full product. Thirty minutes is usually enough to know if it’s a fit.
