About me
Hi, I'm Viki. I build open-source software and study how blockchains and AI agents can work together. With a strong foundation in software engineering, I'm driven to make decentralized systems practical and accessible.
I've spent years leading and shipping products across multiple ecosystems, coordinating communities of contributors, and turning research into real applications.
I maintain open-source projects, publish in academic journals, and compete in hackathons. I enjoy the full cycle from idea to implementation.
Most of my work is in TypeScript, Rust, and Solidity. I like non-trivial problems and finding the most practical solution.
If you are working on something interesting, I'd like to hear about it.
