Work

A short history of where I’ve worked and what I built.

BONKbot

Nov 2024 — Jun 2026

Senior Staff Engineer & Engineering Manager

Building a low-latency, on-chain crypto trading platform for Solana memecoins on Telegram and web.

• Both led and built — owned core systems hands-on while managing the team behind the platform that drives 80% of revenue.
• Owned the Telegram bot, web user API, authentication, infrastructure, the swap execution layer, and portfolio/PnL paths.
• Project lead for Multiwallet v1.
• Led Auth v2 — passkey authentication integrated with our proprietary signer.
• Drove an observability and team-structure push that cut swap latency (p50 1.1s → 0.8s, p90 1.5s → 1.1s) and portfolio/PnL latency (p90 5.3s → 3.8s).
• Also shipped referrals, internal tooling, and more.

• Architected and shipped the v1 EVM smart contracts.
• Owned the backend operational and settlement layers.
• Sole developer of all on-chain contract indexers.
• Built the PnL engine for the Pendle integration — staking yields on SY tokens held in our vaults, via a sliding-window model forked from SY's on-chain yield logic.

Cisco Meraki

Aug 2014 — Jan 2017

Security Appliance Team

On the MX security-appliance team, part of Meraki's cloud-managed networking platform — devices that phone home to a central dashboard for configuration, monitoring, and firmware, instead of being managed box by box.

• Co-invented and built an uplink-monitoring system — a sliding-window monitor that let MX owners catch uplink latency and connectivity issues from the cloud dashboard.
• Spanned the stack: C++ components on the device, a Rails backend, a React frontend, and Scala collectors polling connection data from fleets of deployed appliances.
• Also worked across firewall configuration and other app-level features.
