I’m a software engineer passionate about Linux, open-source ecosystems, and systems engineering. I build software ranging from developer tools to real-world applications and enjoy exploring systems that run close to the metal.

I have solid experience with Linux and its various distributions, including Ubuntu, Kali Linux, Tails OS, Parrot OS, and Kubuntu. A few years ago, I experimented with running a Bitcoin node and personal server on a Raspberry Pi 4, but it didn’t go as planned due to hardware limitations, something I’d love to revisit in the future with better hardware.

I was a Solana Summer Fellow ‘24 and continue to work on decentralized applications and blockchain systems.

Recent projects include the Plunk Rust SDK, now the official community SDK, and an unofficial SDK for Polar.sh.

Currently, I’m building OurPocket - an infrastructure API that enables B2B platforms to manage wallets across multiple payment and crypto providers through a single, secure integration.

Outside of development, I play drums and enjoy diving into technical reads. Over time, I’ve curated an awesome reading list from some amazing corners of the web, think of it as a gold mine of knowledge you can explore here . I’ve also got a few titles lined up on my personal reading list, including Mastering Bitcoin, The Garden of Forking Paths , Many worlds interpretation, Crafting Interpreters, and The Dual Mandate in British Tropical Africa (1922) by Lord Frederick Lugard .
