About

FS

I build distributed systems, blockchain infrastructure, and the backend systems and products they run on — from custom consensus engines and zero-knowledge identity to financial and AI-powered apps. I started in web development, moved into Ethereum and DeFi, then into Substrate and decentralised identity, and now spend most of my time deep in Rust and backend infrastructure at McKinley Rice and Sovereign Wallet Network.

I like building things end-to-end — from protocol design and backend infrastructure through to the product people actually use. I build side projects to scratch my own itches and stay sharp.
