I am a Full-Stack Engineer with 10+ years of experience and a heavy lean into DevOps. I enjoy building applications end-to-end—from the front-end components down to the server infrastructure and deployment pipelines.

Currently, I am developing the Ethereum File System (EFS), an open-source project where I wear both hats:

As a Developer: I architected a decentralized application using EAS, Solidity, TypeScript and Web Components, solving complex state management issues in a resource constrained environment.

As an Ops Engineer: I help run the underlying Ethereum network, using Prometheus and Grafana for observability and practicing chaos engineering to ensure node reliability.

Previously, I spent a decade at Epic Systems working on enterprise healthcare software. My work there involved modernizing legacy web platforms (C#/.NET) and managing large-scale server integrations, ensuring federated code worked reliably across varied and rigid enterprise environments.

I’m looking for a role where I can be useful across the stack, whether that means shipping features, improving build tools, or stabilizing infrastructure.

You have to create small companies in order to build big ones

You do not need to report a $0 capital gain when using stablecoins. Sure crypto can seem like the wild West with CPAs having different opinions on what little official guidance is out there but that one is simply absurd.

CPA Miles Brooks claims you do[]

   You are required to report capital gains and losses from stablecoins on your tax return (though it’s likely that your gain will be close to 0).

>being able to just show up in a country, download an app

This seems like a "draw the rest of the owl" situation. If I arrive in a new country with no phone data (which is why I need a sim in the first place) then how do I download an app? Being able to walk up to a guy at the airport and within seconds slide in a SIM solves that data problem.

You can get the app and provision the esim in your home country, or use airport wifi?

not all airports have that. and even when they do I have had to fight to stay online or get online requiring entering email and clicking the link in the email before being granted online access.

What’s wrong with provisioning the esim in advance then? Android and iOS both support loading many (8?) esims and swapping the active one(s)

That can work. I don't really know if it is going to work when I land.

As the other comment said it's either airport wifi, prep beforehand, roaming data (if absolutely necessary), or (last resort) you go to a physical phone store usually in an airport and they will set it up for you.

I can download T-Mobile eSIM from Australia - Pay them $15, know what my +1 USA number will be, all before leaving the country. You just can't do this with classical sims.

Testing the theory of whether psychedelics are just inside our heads or whether our consciousness travels somewhere objectively really is why this Tales From The Trip video is my favorite videos. Both men see the same blue woman which is very interesting! https://youtu.be/P_34oNWmNsc?si=_k2CG5b-TVuDaFvM

all that needs to happen is for countries to destroy their nuclear weapons

all that needs to happen is for governments to stop burning fossil fuels

all that needs to happen is for researchers to publish boring papers replicating others results

all that needs to happen is for fishermen to stop overfishing

Coordination problems seem easy but never really are. The chance of all the miners just suddenly agreeing to do something all at once is pretty low to impossible.

A million times this.

The point of a hypothetical suggestion is to direct a specific course of action. I am simultaneously amazed at how complex the 'hypothetical' construct is, and also how many people aren't able to reason around them... since this is basically what our big brains are for.

If you assume everybody involved just stops responding to their current incentives, you can solve any coordination problem, in a manner of speaking. But it's useless as a battle plan. Operationalizing a change demands that you pick a party you're talking to, and with full view of their capabilities and limitations, modify their current course of action in the smallest possible way that accomplishes a change.

Banks didn't support TOTP long before we were able to easily sync them across devices. It's likely more along the lines of banks generally have bad IT departments and outdated digital security policies.

the Ethereum Name Service already exists and services this role just fine. Also the only bottleneck for Blockchain is writing to them. Reading them is free and easily available as everyone can have their own copy of the chain and there's already lots of RPC providers like Infura and Alchemy.

>I find it remarkable that Americans are ok with rule by executive order instead of rule by congressional law.

Can you cite a poll for this? Most Americans have never been asked and likely aren't okay with it but we don't really have a choice in the matter.

When it comes down to it the decision on how executive orders work is based on what a few dozen people think and most of them aren't elected. The general public has no say in the matter.

> Artificial humans should have equal rights as real humans.

This is ridiculous and plain evil.

People like you are ruining the internet.
