Senior Blockchain Engineer · Poland · Global B2B
Custody infrastructure for systems that hold real money.
I design and build the backend paths that hold and move digital assets: key management, signing, transaction lifecycle, reconciliation and multi-chain integrations for startups and regulated financial institutions.
Seven-plus years across blockchain, fintech and enterprise backends. Bitcoin, EVM, Solana and permissioned networks.
Selected work
- Bank tokenization platform
- Architected seven-plus Java and Spring Boot services covering token operations, payments, scheduling and reconciliation with a bank core system. Delivered live migrations on a running platform with zero post-merge production regressions.
- Solana token infrastructure
- Built Token-2022 flows, Meteora liquidity, Jupiter swaps, Squads Multisig V4 governance and GCP KMS-backed signing as one end-to-end operating path.
- Enterprise DLT networks
- Delivered permissioned financial networks with Hyperledger Besu, GoQuorum, Canton/Daml, FireFly and Kaleido across Terraform-managed environments.
- WORK token launch
- Led development of the WORK token at Paidwork, reducing transaction costs by 99% for a 17-million-user platform through L2 rollups. The contract was publicly audited. CoinMarketCap · audit
What I work on
- Custody and wallets
- KMS/HSM signing, multisig and MPC coordination, policy engines, deposit detection, transaction state machines, reorg handling and ledger reconciliation.
- Multi-chain systems
- Bitcoin and UTXO semantics, EVM and account abstraction, Solana programs and token accounts — without forcing one chain's model onto another.
- Fintech backend
- Java/Spring Boot and TypeScript/NestJS microservices, event-driven systems, PostgreSQL ledgers and high-integrity transactional workflows.
- AI-assisted delivery
- Agent workflows, MCP servers and review automation with deterministic guardrails, explicit evidence and human accountability for the final result.
Writing
Field notes from systems where a missed edge case can move money, corrupt a ledger or produce evidence nobody can reproduce.
