Cryptography Engineer & Blockchain Security Specialist with over 6 years of experience. Currently focused on QuickNode's Web3 Core infrastructure, leading the deployment, tuning, and maintenance of RPC nodes and validators across multiple blockchain protocols.
- Core Focus: Network lifecycle management (hard forks, state pruning), Kubernetes (K8s) architecture for volatile Web3 traffic, and infrastructure automation.
- Impact: Proven track record of securing $50M+ in digital assets and implementing high-standard cryptographic systems and HIPAA-compliant environments.
- $50M+ Secured: Institutional assets protected via AWS KMS, Gnosis Safe, and hardened custody protocols.
- 60% Optimization: Accelerated CI/CD pipelines for high-traffic Web3 gaming platforms.
- Zero Breaches: Flawless record in key-signing ceremonies and critical security operations.
- Global Scale: Infrastructure solutions adopted by over 1,000 Google Cloud enterprise customers.
- Infrastructure: Private Key Management, HSM Integration (Thales, IBM), JSON-RPC Protocols, and Validator/RPC Node Tuning.
- Advanced: Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), Quantum-resistant cryptographic research, and Decentralized Identity.
- Orchestration: Kubernetes (K8s), Terraform, Helm, and Ansible.
- Automation: Developing internal tooling using Go, Python, and Bash/Shell.
- Observability: Managing SLOs, Error Budgets, and High-Severity incident response via Prometheus & Grafana.
Architected a cutting-edge solution utilizing Quantum Superposition and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) for verifiable on-chain randomness.
Designed a decentralized Hardware Security Module framework using Soulbound Tokens (SBTs) for enterprise compliance and identity management.
Developed automated toolsets for complex tasks such as real-time state-sync validation and rapid node recovery across EVM and non-EVM chains.
