// about

Engineering AI & Blockchain Systems

Full-stack engineer working where applied AI meets blockchain. I build production systems end to end, from async Python services and agentic AI systems to React and Next.js frontends and on-chain programs.

On the AI side, I design agentic systems on PydanticAI and the OpenAI stack. I ground them in live data with retrieval and web search, keep them reliable through deterministic orchestration and careful context engineering, and ship them across both text and realtime voice. Axel, the agent powering the CarXprt marketplace, is one of them.

On-chain, I design and ship smart contracts in Rust, FunC, and Solidity across Solana, TON, and EVM, then wire them to custom indexers, DeFi protocols, and wallet integrations in live products.
