About

From backend workflows to interactive tools

I’m a hands-on engineer with experience across TypeScript and Node.js backends, Angular applications, and blockchain protocols. At Silicon Swamp, my engineering work for Wire Network includes event indexing, staking operations, multisig deployment tooling, and security-audit remediation. Independently, I build SVG Animator, a browser-based editor with keyframe animation and a standalone playback runtime.

Working Principles

  • Keep responsibilities clear and shared behavior reusable.
  • Design for retries, failure recovery, and understandable operational behavior.
  • Make complex workflows easier to use without hiding consequential decisions.
