I'm a Senior Product Engineer. I build AI and full-stack products and take them from architecture to the user-facing layer, with 6+ years shipping across AI products, SaaS, and Web3.
Recently I built and shipped Amarnai, an open-source AI email-triage product, solo, from first commit to live users.
- Product & Frontend — React, Next.js, TypeScript, React Native
- Backend & APIs — Node.js, NestJS, REST/GraphQL, PostgreSQL, data modeling and indexing
- AI / LLM Integration — products built on frontier models: structured outputs, embedding-based routing, agentic flows, privacy-conscious design
- Web3 & Smart Contracts — Solidity, Hardhat, ethers.js, The Graph; DeFi products in production securing tens of millions in TVL
Gmail-first AI triage that sorts an inbox into folders defined in plain English, drafts replies for approval, and shows its confidence and reasoning on every routing decision. Built full-stack, solo.
- Plain-English taxonomy — describe each folder in a sentence; no rules, no code
- AI-drafted replies — generated for review, never sent without approval
- Confidence + reasoning — low-confidence threads routed to review instead of guessing
- Privacy by design — read-only Gmail OAuth, no email bodies stored
- Open-source (AGPL-3.0) — hosted, or self-host with Docker against any model (including local Ollama)
- Next.js, Node/TypeScript, PostgreSQL/Prisma, embedding-based routing, frontier-model integration end to end → amarnai.com · github.com/amarnai/amarnai
Frontend lead for VeChain's Stargate staking platform, supporting the network's transition from Proof of Authority to Delegated Proof of Stake.
- Owned frontend architecture and UX-critical flows
- Designed and implemented NFT-based staking and validation node management
- Supported a platform that peaked at $100M+ in assets staked across 6,000+ NFT holders → stargate.vechain.org
Instant upfront-yield DeFi protocol. Owned delivery from smart-contract integration to frontend architecture.
- Built production React/Next.js dApp interfaces tightly coupled with protocol mechanics
- Reached a $40M+ market cap and $20M+ in total value locked
