The most amazing...
...software I've built was a software-as-infrastructure serverless deployment for a blockchain-augmented chat app for onboarding at financial institutions.
Work Experience
CTO | Co-founder | Lead Developer
Tradle
- Designed and implemented serverless deployment that can be monitored and updated while running completely under the customer's own AWS account.
- Built an adapter to DynamoDB that uses index overloading to allow an arbitrary number of data models to be stored in one table, each indexed on its own model-specific properties, with support for re-indexing.
- Designed and implemented a plugin-based real-time chat bot framework using AWS IoT.
- Created a set of nested CloudFormation stacks for deploying architecture as code, as well as an update mechanism and CLI to manage configuration, updates, and rollbacks post-deployment.
- Designed and implemented adapters to the Ethereum and Bitcoin blockchains.
- Authored a number of open-source native modules for React Native for crypto, networking (UDP), and storage.
- Authored an open source dev tool, rn-nodeify, and a set of shims that enable a Node.js-like environment in React Native. These open source components are now used by production apps (not just ours).
- Designed and implemented a cryptographic protocol.
- Authored plugins for the Serverless framework.
Software Engineer (Node.js and Data Pipelines)
Moneyhub Financial Technology Ltd (via Toptal)
- Created a serverless ETL pipeline using AWS CloudFormation, Step Functions, Lambda, and Glue.

Urbien
- Built a zero-dep web framework for single-page applications (SPAs) with resource-loading optimization, offline storage using IndexedDB, social login/registration via multiple networks as well as plugins for maps and WebRTC.
- Developed apps for hackathons based on that framework.
