Work Experience

Software Developer at Affam Limited
January 1, 2023 - Present
Pioneered and led the development of b-block, a custom blockchain implementation in Go, designed to demonstrate secure transaction handling and persistent state management with an embedded database layer. Engineered a transaction persistence system using LevelDB, ensuring durable storage of blocks and state after node restarts, with atomic writes to prevent corruption during consensus failures. Designed efficient indexing for UTXOs to enable fast balance queries and transaction validation, and implemented Merkle tree storage optimizations for light clients while minimizing disk I/O. Implemented snapshotting and pruning mechanisms to balance chain history retention with storage efficiency for resource-constrained environments.

    paper K-Fluid

    a Kafka-like broker with segmented append-only logs, compaction policies, and partitioned storage for linear throughput scaling—experiences that honed my skills in observability, disaster recovery automation, and handling massive data volumes without downtime.

    paper Babosa

    In a world of distributed systems, I engineered a P2P task scheduler with Libp2p, turning potential failures into fault-tolerant wins. Docker deployments? Check. Observability insights? Absolutely. This project echoes the DevOps flair you’d value, all while keeping things agile and documented.
