00 / Overview

The project at a glance.

At Hypernet Labs, I architected layer-two infrastructure for ERC20 payments reaching 25 transactions per second. I also built a modular developer SDK, introduced CI/CD automation, and managed a small engineering team and its technical roadmaps.

My contribution

Combined payment-system architecture and SDK implementation with engineering planning and team leadership.

25 tx/secERC20 payment settlement throughput

The result

ERC20 settlement reaching 25 transactions per second, supported by a modular SDK and a coordinated engineering roadmap.

01

Layer-two payment settlement

Architected the backend infrastructure for ERC20 payment settlement, scaling it to 25 transactions per second. This was the core payment-system work supporting the platform.

02

SDK and delivery tooling

Built a modular SDK using dependency injection, allowing dependencies to be supplied through explicit component boundaries. Introduced CI/CD automation alongside the SDK and settlement infrastructure to make delivery steps repeatable.

03

Leading while building

Managed a small engineering team and technical roadmaps while contributing architecture and implementation. The role joined hands-on technical decisions with planning and coordinating engineering delivery.
