Some of the many projects I've built and architected
I
Creative AI / dialogue rewriting / 2026
Rescript Studio
Type a new line and the actor says it — voice, lips, and all.
A dialogue rewrite takes minutes on local hardware. Footage never leaves the machine.
Decision noteThe editor extracts the selected region frame-accurately with FFmpeg and stages it into a ComfyUI workflow built on MiniMax H3 reference-to-video models.
- My role
- Solo: product, interface, and generation pipeline
- Signal
- A dialogue rewrite takes minutes on local hardware. Footage never leaves the machine.
A local-first editor that rewrites dialogue inside real footage. Mark a segment, type the new line, and the pipeline regenerates the shot with matched voice and lip motion, then stitches it back frame-accurately.

Game platform / digital ownership / 2024-2026
Impostors Genesis
Everything a player owns, claimable and usable in one place.
Shipped the production frontend on TanStack Start and Cloudflare Workers.
Decision noteTask-first routes: inventory, eligibility, claims, bundling, and Origin assets each get a screen that does one job well.
- My role
- Technical direction, architecture, hands-on engineering
- Signal
- Shipped the production frontend on TanStack Start and Cloudflare Workers.
The player portal for Impostors: wallet login, full asset inventory, eligibility checks, claims, Origin bundling, codex lore, and a land generator that composes owned assets into deterministic renders.
Open case studyIII
DeFi operations / decision systems / 2024-2026
Epoch Planner
The dashboard that replaced ten hours of weekly spreadsheet work.
Killed roughly 10 hours of manual reconciliation every week.
Decision noteWorkspaces model each organization with explicit roles and administrative boundaries.
- My role
- Architecture, product design partnership, engineering leadership
- Signal
- Killed roughly 10 hours of manual reconciliation every week.
An internal planning system for DEX voting operations: pools, votes, rewards, bribes, history, migrations, and administration for multiple workspaces on one synchronized surface.
Open case studyIV
NFT marketplace / social trading / 2022-2023
GigaMart
Trade the collection and talk to its holders on the same page.
Went from public announcement to open beta in eight days, December 2022.
Decision noteSet technical direction, picked the frontend and backend stacks, and managed the external contractors building alongside the core team.
- My role
- Technical direction, stack selection, contractor management; built collection chat personally
- Signal
- Went from public announcement to open beta in eight days, December 2022.
A Super Studios NFT marketplace with aggregated listings, rankings, live analytics, collector profiles, notifications, and custom dashboards — plus real-time collection chat, which I built.
Open case studyV
Brand platform / social systems / 2022-2024
SuperVerse
An ecosystem's front door: brand site, content pipeline, social rewards.
The relaunch shipped with a production web presence built in-house.
Decision noteBuilt the brand site and its content-management pipeline, so marketing publishes without engineers in the loop.
- My role
- Architecture and hands-on engineering
- Signal
- The relaunch shipped with a production web presence built in-house.
The SuperVerse relaunch needed a public face. I built the brand site, the content pipeline behind it, and the social engagement tooling that rewarded the community for showing up.
Open case studyVI
Community platform / contract work / 2021-2026
Neo Tokyo Tools
Tools a token-gated city actually uses: identity, trade, games, lore.
Live through multiple product generations since 2021.
Decision noteBuilt citizen identity, profile, and discovery tools used across the community.
- My role
- Contract engineer and community contributor
- Signal
- Live through multiple product generations since 2021.

Open case studyVII
Financial systems / asset migration / 2022-2026
Staking & Distribution
Systems that move eight figures of user assets and don't get to be wrong.
Directed the secure migration of eight figures in user assets to new smart contracts.
Decision noteStaking and migration portals backed by audited contracts and private server-side RPC infrastructure.
- My role
- Technical direction, migration oversight, systems engineering
- Signal
- Directed the secure migration of eight figures in user assets to new smart contracts.
Staking portals, Solidity contracts, historical chain reconstruction, migration tooling, snapshots, and resumable multisig distributions — the money-handling layer of the ecosystem.
Open case studyVIII
Cloud economics / engineering systems / 2024-2026
Platform Modernization
$300K a year off the cloud bill, without giving anything up.
Cut annual AWS and Cloudflare spend by more than $300,000.
Decision noteAudited everything: usage, contracts, cache hit rates, always-on servers, per-service pricing.
- My role
- Director of Engineering and lead architect
- Signal
- Cut annual AWS and Cloudflare spend by more than $300,000.
A portfolio-wide teardown of AWS and Cloudflare spend: caching, rightsizing, insourcing, deployment rebuilds, and monorepo boundaries across every product.
Open case studyI build and lead with the same goal: help others succeed.
If you have a problem, I want to solve it for you. If I have the skills, I’ll use them. If I need skills, I’ll learn them. And I don’t forget that we build for people, not for machines.
Direction
Engineering strategy, architecture, hiring, mentoring, budgets, vendors, C-level reporting
Application
TypeScript, React, TanStack Start, Node.js, Python, React Native, GraphQL
Platform
AWS, Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, Kubernetes, Terraform, PostgreSQL
Web3
EVM, Solidity, Foundry, staking, DeFi, smart-contract migrations and asset protection
Building something consequential?
I am exploring remote Director of Engineering roles where technical judgment, product architecture, and team development matter equally.
