Iβm a Bitcoin & Lightning Network developer focused on building real-world payment infrastructure.
I work mainly on backend systems that power Lightning payments β handling invoice lifecycles, retries, failures, settlement, and fiat β sats flows. My interests sit at the intersection of Bitcoin, payments, distributed systems, and open-source software.
- Build Lightning payment systems designed for production, not demos
- Work on fiat β sats payment flows and reconciliation
- Design backend APIs for payments, webhooks, and state management
- Contribute to Bitcoin Free & Open Source Software (FOSS)

Bitcoin adoption wonβt be driven by hype. It will be driven by engineers building reliable, boring, and trustworthy payment infrastructure.
