Router Protocol
// Blockchain Developer (Core Team)Jan 2023 – PresentSpearheaded the expansion of Router V2 from an EVM-centric protocol to a truly omni-chain ecosystem. Personally owned the end-to-end integration of non-EVM networks (Solana, Sui, Near, Tron, Aleph Zero).
Omni-Chain Smart Contract Engineering (Lead for Non-EVM)
- Solana Integration (Architecture Impact): Architected the Solana Gateway and Asset Bridge using Anchor (Rust). Solved critical constraints like the 1232-byte transaction limit by implementing custom serialization and Jito bundling for deterministic propagation.
- Move-based Ecosystems: Designed object-centric cross-chain logic in Move for Sui & Aptos, ensuring perfect alignment with Router’s settlement layer state model.
- Substrate & Near: Developed and migrated core messaging logic for Aleph Zero (ink!) and Near (Rust), expanding the protocol's reach to non-EVM chains.
- Tron Implementation: Custom-engineered integration using Tron Go SDK/Java, resolving complex Tuple data encoding and gRPC-based event listening issues.
Nitro & Asset Forwarder (Intent-Based Bridging)
- Intent-Based Systems: Developed 'Asset Forwarder' smart contracts that reduced cross-chain transfer times from minutes to 5–15 seconds using off-chain liquidity provision.
- Settlement Orchestration: Built the 'Deposit-Relay-Withdraw' lifecycle logic in Go/Nest.js, ensuring forwarders could trustlessly reclaim funds via the Router settlement layer.
- Security Leadership: Coordinated and successfully passed multiple top-tier audits (Oak Security, etc.) for EVM, Near, Solana, and Sui gateway contracts, securing $1.1B+ in bridged assets.
Product & Ecosystem Launches
- Rabbit Rush (NFT Product): Full-stack contributor for the protocol’s flagship test-mainnet product. Built the high-performance Nest.js backend orchestrator using Redis for high-frequency data fetching.
- Router Open Graph: Designed a Rust-based bridge aggregation layer to split large-volume swaps across multiple sources, minimizing slippage.
- Blink.fi: Engineered high-speed Solana transaction relayers to prevent front-running and enable instant token launches.
Protocol Research
- Conducted deep-dive gas optimization audits comparing Router V2 against Axelar, ZetaChain, and Hyperlane, leading to structural improvements in messaging overhead.
WoW Labz
// Blockchain Developer InternMay 2022 – Jan 2023Built and deployed NFT smart contracts on the Stacks blockchain (Bitcoin L2).
Full Stack Web3 Development
- Bitcoin L2 Development: Built and deployed NFT smart contracts on Stacks with fully on-chain metadata.
- Optimization: Integrated contracts with frontend and optimized game logic for responsiveness and decentralization.
Nethermind
// Blockchain Developer InternJun 2022 – Sept 2022Contributed to StarkNet ecosystem security and Layer 2 tooling.
Security & Tooling
- Real-time Security: Built Forta agent bot for real-time reentrancy detection on Ethereum.
- StarkNet Ecosystem: Contributed Cairo smart contracts for StarkNet tooling and worked with ZK-rollups.
# Security & Audits
Coordinated and successfully passed multiple top-tier audits for EVM, Near, Solana, and Sui gateway contracts. Collaborated with **Oak Security** and others to harden the system securing $1.1B+ in bridged assets.
