Scintilla Network
Protocol design & full-stack engineering
Scintilla Network is my flagship protocol research project: a next-generation, post-quantum oriented Layer-1 blockchain designed for sovereign digital economies. Built entirely from scratch, it encompasses consensus design drawing on a decade of protocol work (including the ChainLocks experience at Dash), a full P2P networking stack, post-quantum oriented cryptographic primitives, and a complete developer toolkit: SDK, wallet library, client library, browser extension and network development kit. The project is open-source under MIT license, with all components published on GitHub. It represents the long-duration bet where protocol experience compounds into something owned end to end.
- Consensus design and P2P networking stack
- Post-quantum oriented cryptographic primitives
- Full SDK, wallet, client and browser extension
Dash
Lead backend & principal protocol engineering
Led backend development at Dash Core Group and co-invented ChainLocks, the LLMQ-based consensus that hardened a top-tier chain against 51% attacks. Built DAPI, the decentralised API, and led the SDK and DashPay wallet teams.
- Co-invented ChainLocks, consensus tech later reused across $350B+ of projects
- Architected DAPI, the decentralised API layer, and led wallet & SDK teams
- Ran crisis response on critical security disclosures
RWA protocol
DeFi & RWA protocol architecture
Architecture and core engineering for a real-world-asset protocol tokenising gold and housing, designed for on-chain transparency, a reusable signer layer, and an audit path from day one.
- Designed the tokenization and settlement architecture (RWA)
- On-chain transparency and proof systems
- Shared signer layer built once, reusable across protocols
Zebitex
Exchange & market-data infrastructure
Exchange APIs and trading infrastructure for a French centralised crypto exchange: standardised market data, order flow and the kind of correctness and uptime money demands.
- Standardised exchange & market-data APIs
- Real-time order flow and trading agents
- Correctness and uptime for live financial markets
