Some of the projects I have been working on lately, ranging from blockchain infrastructure to developer tooling and Kubernetes platforms.
2023-2026
Deep dive into blockchain infrastructure and developer tooling at Polygon Labs
✅ Reliability
- Defining user journeys and establishing SLIs and SLOs to measure and improve service reliability
- Implementing synthetic monitoring for Polygon’s critical infrastructure (blockchain networks, AggLayer, OMS/BPN, web apps, etc.)
📦 Kurtosis Packages
Packages for reproducible blockchain devnets, enabling faster local development and integration testing across multiple stacks.
- 0xPolygon/kurtosis-cdk: Polygon CDK stack - maintainer + core contributor
- 0xPolygon/kurtosis-pos: Polygon PoS stack - maintainer + core contributor
- agglayer/optimism-package: Optimism stack - maintainer
🔧 Blockchain Tools
- 0xPolygon/polygon-cli: CLI toolkit for blockchain development and operations - occasional contributor
💖 Open-source Contributions
- kurtosis-tech/kurtosis: Platform for packaging and launching blockchain infrastructure
- foundry-rs/foundry: Blockchain toolkit for Ethereum
- paradigmxyz/reth: Rust execution layer implementation of the Ethereum protocol
- mds1/evm-diff: Web UI to differentiate EVM-compatible chains
2021-2022
A fresh start in the world of platform engineering at Renault Software Factory
☸️ Kubernetes Operators
- Designed and implemented a Kubernetes operator to standardize configurations and automate deployments and updates of GitLab runners
- Production deployment managing 50+ runners, operating 24/7, and executing thousands of jobs per week
- Wrote technical articles on building and testing Kubernetes operators
👀 Monitoring
- Managed Kubernetes monitoring stack using Prometheus, Grafana, Karma, and Thanos
- Infrastructure and application metrics monitoring
🌸 Chainlink Spring Hackathon
- Everest Protocol: Attempted to build a DeFi protocol for trading synthetic assets (crypto following traditional asset prices like $TSLA) with two other crypto nerds (cc @yvesbou)
- Top 40 out of 400+ projects and 1,500+ participants
- Based on Chainlink oracles and Uniswap
- Deployed on Avalanche Fuji testnet
- 6-week hackathon
