Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Blocko · Blocko

Designed and implemented Aergo core protocol, smart contract VM, consensus and open-source releases

Led architecture and engineering of the Aergo protocol and its core node software, translating Blocko's enterprise blockchain requirements into a hybrid public‑permissioned design. Responsibilities included specification of the consensus mechanism, execution environment for smart contracts, network layer and the moduleization that allowed enterprise integrations and public chain operations. Directed the development and open‑source publication of the Aergo core client, supervised implementation of the project's smart contract virtual machine and developer APIs, and managed release cycles tied to testnet and mainnet launches. Also coordinated third‑party security audits and bug‑bounty responses to harden the protocol before production use. Oversaw migration paths for Blocko's corporate clients onto Aergo and led technical decisions that shaped token mechanics relevant to transaction throughput, gas model and contract determinism. These concrete engineering choices directly affected how the Aergo token was used, how dApps performed on the chain, and how enterprise integrations were executed.
