AI-enabled engineering

Engineering is evolving

The landscape of software development is shifting. AI isn't replacing engineers, it's amplifying what we can build. I've been using LLMs to assist in development since 2022, integrating tools like Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, OpenAI API, and n8n into my workflows to accelerate delivery, improve code quality, and deliver solutions faster than ever before.

Beyond using these tools in my development workflow, since the emergence of LLMs I have learned to integrate them directly into the software I build when they're the right tool for the job. I see them as architectural components that can solve problems in ways traditional code cannot. I have learned to build systems where LLMs maintain context across conversations, orchestrate workflows autonomously, and coordinate with other agents to accomplish complex tasks. This enables me to create intelligent systems where LLMs are first-class citizens in the architecture, not just external APIs.

Aerosol

Current

Technical Founder

2024 - Present

Founded Aerosol, a Web3 company building products for the Solana ecosystem, serving as the sole engineer to deliver multiple production products including a token launchpad, token management studio, asset indexer, and wallet cleanup tool.
  • Founded Aerosol, a company focused on building Web3 products for the Solana blockchain ecosystem.
  • Collaborated with Phantom to integrate Aerosol products, receiving positive feedback from the Phantom team.
  • Built a token launchpad that enables users to create and launch tokens on Solana with comprehensive metadata management and marketplace integration.
  • Developed a token management studio that allows users to manage their tokens, including revoking mint authority, transfer fee authority, freeze authority, making token metadata immutable, and harvesting and withdrawing transfer fees.
  • Created an asset indexer that detects and indexes assets being minted on the Solana blockchain in real time, providing up-to-date tracking of on-chain activity.
  • Built Burn & Claim, a wallet cleanup tool that allows users to clean up their wallets and reclaim SOL by recovering storage fees from the Solana blockchain, supporting multiple asset types including tokens, NFTs, compressed NFTs, and zk-compressed tokens.
  • Integrated ZK compression in about 24 hours to Burn & Claim and gained recognition from Toly.
  • Implemented a full affiliate program on Solana that allows sharing fees with partners who recommend our products, enabling revenue sharing through on-chain transactions.
