Hi clients at Twine, I’m a final-year MS student at CU Boulder and a founding engineer at Normal Finance, where my Rust infra moves $1M+ monthly DeFi volume. I build open source projects like SyncRabbit (sub-10ms realtime DB sync engine) and FlickJS (a deterministic TypeScript framework outperforming React in benchmarks). Previously did a YC W24 work trial at Greptile and have 4+ years building at startups in the US and Dubai. I also created tools like Fixdog, Driftal, Infyn, and Mockmouse, and I’m a 10× global hackathon winner (Hack Junction Helsinki, UC Berkeley AI Hackathon, ETHGlobal). Best, Jay
