Roles, scope and what shipped.
Developer relations, solutions engineering and integration delivery for Moca Network's AIR Kit — the identity, fintech and loyalty SDK for platforms.
- Bridge enterprise client requirements with engineering execution by aligning roadmap priorities and sprint delivery.
- Developer relations — own the developer-facing documentation for the SDK: integration guides, quickstarts, code samples and API reference across the account, credential, wallet and recovery surfaces. Shortened partner time-to-first-integration and cut repeat support load.
- Solutions engineering — partner with business development through the deal cycle: technical discovery, feasibility assessment, architecture proposals, live demos and proof-of-concept builds that turn partner requirements into concrete integration designs.
- Integration engineering — work directly with partner engineering teams from kickoff through launch: scoping the right path (account-only, credential-only or full-stack), reviewing implementations, debugging against the SDK and unblocking production releases.
- Introduce AI-based initiatives to improve developer experience and enterprise workflows.
- Partner with engineering teams to refine SDK design, user journeys and product mental models.
Continuing advisory on architecture, security and technical direction after handing over as Head of Technology.
Founding engineer on a crypto-backed card, semi-custodial wallets, a token economy and a luxury concierge operation. I owned the stack end to end: architecture, backend, mobile, contracts, infrastructure and security.
- Built a production-grade backend API in NestJS and PostgreSQL: JWT authentication with 2FA, device fingerprinting, biometric integration, Sumsub KYC, card issuance, Expo push notifications and email services, with comprehensive rate limiting and security controls.
- Developed the native mobile application: real-time multi-asset crypto and fiat wallet management, digital card operations (freeze/unfreeze, top-up, withdrawal), KYC with live document verification, passkey authentication and deep linking — deployed to the iOS and Android app stores.
- Wrote the Solidity contracts — ERC-20, multi-stage presale with EIP-712 signatures, Chainlink ETH/USD feeds, two-sided referrals and staking — hardened for third-party audit with slippage and MEV protection, stablecoin depeg circuit breakers and exact-accounting refunds. Presale dashboard in Next.js with Wagmi/Viem and SIWE.
- Implemented the concierge request lifecycle across mobile, API and three admin interfaces: dynamic form builders, status workflows, agent assignment, invoicing, broadcasts, invitation codes and RBAC.
