Software engineer with 5+ years building production systems — currently going deep on Bitcoin and Rust open-source development while shipping AI engineering work at scale.
I contribute to rust-lightning (LDK) and BDK, build Bitcoin developer tooling, and architect agentic AI systems serving real users. Graduated top 19 with a perfect score from the BTrust Builders Rust for Bitcoiners pathway (2026).
⚡ SatsBolt — Co-Founder & Lead Backend Engineer
Instant Bitcoin micropayments for creators, communities, and businesses
Building a Lightning-native micropayment platform targeting social tipping and merchant payments for the Global South. Co-founded with a fellow BTrust Builders member. Backend API built in Rust — implementing Lightning payment flows, internal ledger, and fiat off-ramp infrastructure using LDK.
Currently in active development — backend APIs ready, mobile UI in progress.

🔗 Visual Chain — Creator & Lead Developer
Interactive Bitcoin fork, reorg & chain creator for Regtest and Signet
An open-source interactive web tool for Bitcoin developers to visually create, simulate, and observe blockchain forks and chain reorganizations in real time. While tools like fork.observer offer passive observation, Visual Chain is interactive — mine blocks on any chain tip, build competing chains, trigger reorgs with one click, and watch the node switch live in a directed graph.
Built for Lightning developers, wallet teams, and educators who need to test reorg handling without CLI-only workflows.
- Real-time DAG/tree visualization of all chain tips and forks
- Color-coded chain status: Active (green), Valid-Fork (orange), Stale (gray), Invalid (red)
- One-click "Mine here" on any block tip
- Create Fork tool — mine competing chains of chosen depth
- Live reorg detection with smooth animation
- Connects to local Regtest and Signet nodes

Chained Conditions: How Rust's Where Clause Actually Works
Technical article derived from reading real BDK source code. Covers trait bounds, associated type constraints, and why C::Target: RpcApi only exists because C: Deref is proven first. Written for Bitcoin Rust developers.
