About
Backend engineer who built gnocal, a ~150-line stateless Go service that turns on-chain event data into standards-compliant .ics calendar feeds consumable by Apple/Google Calendar, deployed on Fly.io. Also refactored MCTS into Monte Carlo Graph Search (Python-to-Rust) using deterministic tests and state canonicalization to handle transpositions, and implemented decentralized role-based ACLs in Gno for a smart-contract web hosting network (gno.land / All in Bits).
Experience
Education
Key Strengths
- Designed an end-to-end stateless backend translating on-chain events into RFC 5545 .ics feeds for Apple/Google Calendar
- Strong bias for simplicity and correctness (no caching/persistence to avoid sync bugs; fail-fast boundary validation)
- API contract-first mindset (strict schemas, consistent errors, cursor pagination, accurate OpenAPI for frontend enablement)
- Security through least-privilege design (scoped auth, strict validation, intentional CORS, rate limits, parameterized queries)
- Led a high-risk refactor with parallel run and deterministic equivalence tests (Python validation then Rust port)
- Identified and fixed subtle algorithmic edge case (transpositions) by canonicalizing states to improve robustness and performance
