About

I build production systems, and lately I build systems that build systems. For 15+ years through DeepRapid, my consulting practice, I've been the senior engineer that Fortune 500s, government agencies, and venture-backed startups bring in to modernize legacy platforms, stabilize distributed systems, and ship cloud-native products. The last few years have been about AI — not demos, but production: LLM-powered applications, RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, and MCP integrations that connect coding agents to live systems with governance and audit built in. That work culminated in Closure, a platform I founded where entire applications live as machine-readable data that AI agents can safely read, modify, and evolve while running. I wrote a book on the paradigm (The Last Application, closureapps.com/book) and filed a U.S. provisional patent on the method (Feb 2026). Before that: three years leading engineering on a Web3 launchpad whose contract-factory architecture deployed 300+ NFT collections across Polygon, BNB Chain, Optimism, and other EVM chains — no engineer in the loop per launch. Stack: TypeScript/Node, React/Next.js, Rust, Solidity, AWS, Kubernetes, Postgres, and the AI layer
