Hey, I'm Dean 👋

Software Engineer · Blockchain Engineer · Protocol Engineer · ZK Research Engineer

Performance is non-negotiable. Privacy is a right. Decentralisation is the point. I build at that intersection — and when the tools don't exist to build it right, I stop and build those first. Production Rust, cross-chain protocols, and the writing that makes it all make sense to other developers.

Currently focused on: Protocol Engineering · ZK/Privacy infrastructure · Devtooling


💎 Featured Projects

Payego — High-throughput Fintech Engine

  • Architecture: Clean Architecture (Axum, Diesel, PostgreSQL).
  • Highlights: Multi-currency wallet, Stripe/PayPal integration, OpenAPI (utoipa), and robust observability (Grafana/Prometheus).
  • Takeaway: Professional-grade Rust workspace with modular crates (api, core, primitives).

PhantomBet — AI-powered Prediction Market

  • Innovation: Decentralized prediction market with GPT-4 powered settlement via Chainlink CRE.
  • Highlights: Bespoke CRESettlementOracle.sol bridging AI analysis to on-chain market resolution.
  • Takeaway: Leading the "AI x Blockchain" space with trustless settlement mechanisms.

Chronicle-Indexer — Multi-chain Indexer

  • Performance: High-throughput indexing for EVM and Parachain networks using the alloy library.
  • Highlights: WebSocket-based real-time event filtering and historical block ingestion.
  • Takeaway: Specialized data engineering for high-speed blockchain state tracking.

Stylus Trace — Transaction Profiling

  • Tooling: High-performance profiling tool for Arbitrum Stylus transactions.
  • Highlights: Solves the observability gap for Rust-based smart contracts on Arbitrum.

🧠 What I Care About

  • Devtools that don't suck — if a protocol is hard to debug or profile, I'll build the tool that fixes that
  • Privacy as a primitive — not an afterthought
  • Making hard things legible — writing and speaking about ZK, Rust, and on-chain systems so other engineers can move faster
  • Protocol engineering — I care about what's happening at the consensus and execution layer, not just the application layer

✍🏾 Writing

I write deep technical content on Medium covering:

  • Zero-knowledge proofs and their real-world tradeoffs
  • Rust performance patterns for blockchain systems
  • Decentralised architecture and protocol design
