Core Engineer @Rialo L1 · SubZero

★ flagship
  • Built flagship apps that market Rialo's on-chain HTTP system, turning a novel protocol primitive into demos non-crypto users immediately grasp.
  • Institutional demos. Delivered multiple high-stakes demos for institutional partners, turning their requirements into working on-chain prototypes under tight timelines.
  • Core developer infrastructure. Hardened internal workflows and tooling, example pipelines, release scripts, test harnesses, making contributions faster and more reliable across the org.
  • AI-powered on-chain demos. Prototyped products pairing LLM agents with on-chain execution to explore how AI composes with verifiable blockchain state.
  • Embedded wallet. Built an in-app wallet enabling sign-and-transact without leaving the app, powering one-click onboarding for live showcases and driving thousands of users to the Rialo Playground.
  • DeFi reference suite. Authored swap programs, a prediction market, a lending demo, and a compliant stablecoin used as canonical SDK references.
  • Docs & DX. Restructured developer docs with content systems & workflow integrations that cut time-to-first-transaction for new builders.
  • Ecosystem infra. Contributed to a block explorer and a Walrus-based storage publisher for inspecting state and persisting off-chain assets.
