Experimenting with various projects, one has stuck:degencryptojobs.com is a job aggregation platform tailored to crypto job seekers. It has achieved organic growth to 13k Telegram subscribers and 20k monthly visitors by analyzing user behaviour and iterating features to meet emerging needs.

At Pacts, a startup offering points-based airdrops as a service, I contributed to building a unified platform for on-chain ID, activity tracking, and reward distribution. This enabled protocols to target curated, non-sybil users while providing a seamless experience for end users. My work included developing the frontend for the web app, creating a Telegram bot as an additional user interface, and implementing the reward calculation system to ensure accurate and efficient distributions based on user on-chain activity.

Expanded my software engineering expertise by undertaking diverse projects in financial modeling, generative AI, and blockchain applications. Highlights include:- Reduced VRAM requirements for DreamBooth (image generation) from 24GB to <12GB, cutting training costs by 35% for drawanyone.com.- Designed and implemented a backtesting framework for a crypto index fund, curating a dataset of 2,000+ tokens spanning a decade. Delivered code that passed a third-party audit with zero issues.- Developed a verifiably random lottery Dapp, ensuring trustless execution.

Startup founded by the inventor of ELMs, specializing in low-power, edge-deployed AI models. I advanced from junior engineer to team lead by spearheading key improvements to our object detection pipeline. I developed in-house tools, including semi-supervised data labelling systems, hyperparameter search automation, and optimizer improvements. Through scrapped data integration, augmentation techniques, and algorithmic enhancements, I improved our best model’s mAP for most applications from 0.70 to 0.85. These efforts also laid the foundation for productizing our object detection solutions.

Contributor to the Temasek Foundation Cares Journal.

Researched the use of post-quantum encryption (FHE, MPC, etc.) in deep learning.

At DSO, a defence research laboratory, I developed a Python-based finite element solver to model opto-acoustic interactions in high-powered laser fibres. This tool facilitated the design of fibres with reduced power loss from backscattering and was selected for showcase from a cohort of forty.
