My background is in Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability & Learning (MEAL) and data analysis, which is part of why I lean toward rigorous testing, careful edge-case handling, and clear documentation in the code I ship.
- Building out netpulse-xlm and sep-compliance-validator as my flagship projects, both well past Phase 1 now (see Flagship projects below)
- Actively contributing across the Stellar/Soroban ecosystem: 61+ merged PRs across 15 projects(see Contributions below)
- Participating in the Stellar Wave Program
My two most actively developed projects, each grown well past an initial prototype into a genuinely deep, well-tested tool:
- sep-compliance-validator — 51 merged PRs. Started as a SEP-1/SEP-10 checker, now covers SEP-1, SEP-10, SEP-12, SEP-24, and SEP-38 conformance end to end: live negative-case challenge submissions, JWT signature verification via anchor JWKS, muxed-account and memo support, 100% branch coverage on SEP-10 negative tests, and packaging as a reusable GitHub Action with an npm-published CLI (
--output,--only,--fail-on-warn). Validated against Stellar's official testnet reference anchor. - netpulse-xlm — 38 merged PRs. Grew from a Phase 1 dashboard into a production-grade Stellar network monitor: replaced polling with Horizon SSE streaming + WebSocket push, added persistent historical storage with 24h trend views, CSV/JSON export, an accessibility pass, dark/light theming, and a CI pipeline with CodeQL scanning, dependency auditing, and secret scanning.
Four more Stellar/Soroban prototypes, each a working Phase 1/MVP built and verified end-to-end on testnet (Phase 2+ work tracked as issues in each repo):
- stellar-vrf-service: VRF-backed randomness oracle; a Soroban (Rust) contract paired with an off-chain oracle, deployed and demoed end-to-end on Stellar testnet.
- earnest-escrow: Real estate earnest-money deposit escrow built on Stellar Claimable Balances (no custom contract); working claim and reclaim-after-deadline demos on testnet.
- supply-chain-proof-of-delivery-payments: Soroban (Rust) escrow contract that releases a buyer's payment once a trusted attestor confirms delivery, or returns it after a deadline; working end-to-end on testnet.
- reg-asset-issuance-gateway: SEP-8 compliant regulated asset issuance/redemption gateway for Stellar; investor whitelist, KYC stub, SEP-8 approval, and issuance settlement, demoed end-to-end against testnet with verifiable transaction hashes.
