- Next.js 16
- React 19
- TypeScript
- Hackathon Project
Systems & backendLantern
The security-first Stellar wallet — Chrome MV3 extension and Android
Stops the approve-what-you-cannot-read drain: an on-device risk verdict gates every signature, and guardians can recover an account but never spend from it.

Train AI, cent by cent
Pays contributors in emerging markets real USDC from a phone for AI preference data, with quality engineered in and every payout verifiable on-ledger.

Background
Sixteen years of building software, and most of it has been learning the next thing. Lately that's blockchain and AI: smart contracts and indexers on EVM chains, work in the Solana and Stellar ecosystems, and the backends, APIs and frontends wrapped around them. Before that, developer experience at Whispir, custody infrastructure at Ripple, platform work at Nixplay, and running DevOps at Krisp Systems. I've been a Developer Relations Engineer for Solana Superteam Philippines, and I'm a Certified Blockchain Developer and Certified Solidity Developer. Cum laude, BS Computer Engineering, Adamson University.
The stack mentioned is what I've carried longest, not a fence around what I'll work with. I now build almost entirely AI-assisted — Claude Code as the main toolchain, with Kimi and GLM through Ollama Cloud as fallbacks — and the honest effect is that picking up an unfamiliar language or framework costs a fraction of what it used to. So if your project runs on something that isn't on this list, that's genuinely fine. Tell me what the problem is.
