I spent 8 years engineering high-performance systems in C++ and Unreal Engine 5, where sloppy architecture shows up as dropped frames. I brought that same discipline to JRPG, building the full-stack tools in Python and React that power our crypto news coverage. Most of my work is on the monitoring side: pulling messy streams of on-chain and market data through automated analysis and AI, then turning them into signals our writers and readers can use. Games taught me to sweat the details, and this space rewards it.
