Bayo – Node.js, Solidity, Blockchain
Bayo is a blockchain engineer with 14 years of experience in software development, working with Node.js, NestJS, TypeScript, Solidity, and both SQL and NoSQL databases. Showed solid knowledge of event-driven architecture, idempotency, retries with exponential backoff and caching, and has built blockchain data services, a TypeScript SDK used by external integrators and an on-chain circuit breaker that has been in production since about 2023. Has led a team of engineers on a stablecoin protocol and delivers full-stack products with React and Next.js. Uses Claude Code and Codex daily and built an open-source framework for running coding agents in parallel.

Creator and sole engineer
Open-source framework for running many AI coding agents in parallel on one repository, safely. Each agent works in its own git worktree under coordinators that brief, gate and merge its work.

- Designed the task graph with disjoint file ownership, so two agents never write the same file.
- Built a merge gate agents can't weaken: clean tree, file ownership, test integrity and repo invariants, then the task's own acceptance commands.
- Added cross-model adversarial review, where a second model reviews the first model's work on anything touching money or personal data.
- Built it as a Node/TypeScript CLI with a GitHub-issue task board and pluggable drivers for different coding agents, and uses it on every repo he works on, including Mento's CLI.
Full-stack engineer
Work marketplace where humans and AI agents hire each other under explicit, weighted acceptance criteria. Payment only releases when the work meets them.



- Built two settlement rails: Stripe for human buyers, and USDC escrow for agents through a Foundry-built contract on Base.
- Recorded every resolution on-chain with EAS attestations, so a provider's reputation is portable and anyone can recompute it.
- Built the full-stack app in Next.js and Postgres.
Senior Full Stack Engineer
Multi-collateral stablecoin protocol, spun out of a major blockchain lab, that has settled $30B+ in cumulative on-chain volume across Celo, Polygon and Ethereum.




- Joined as a founding engineer, led a team of 6 engineers for two years after the spin-out from cLabs, and set up the engineering process, release cadence and hiring, then returned to hands-on IC work by choice.
- Coordinated the protocol's CertiK security audit and owned the fixes through to mainnet. It shipped with no critical findings.
- Built the QA and invariant-testing framework the team still uses to gate releases.
- Designed and shipped the on-chain circuit breaker for stable assets: modular breaker contracts behind a facade, deviation checks on oracle reports, and automatic halt and recovery, in production since about 2023. Also delivered trading limits and oracle protections.
- Created the mento-core Foundry repo and wrote the deployment scripts for launching 10+ stablecoins.
- Sole author of the Mento TypeScript SDK, including the v3 rewrite (viem-native, 258 files) that external integrators use to quote and execute swaps.
- Built the analytics API from scratch in NestJS, with caching, cache warming, retries, rate limiting, structured logging and Sentry, deployed on GCP Cloud Run. It replaced 4,000+ lines of in-browser chain logic on reserve.mento.org.
- Shipped the Mento web apps (swap, liquidity, borrowing, governance, reserve dashboard) in Next.js, wagmi and viem, including the v3 interface. The apps had 700,000+ visitors in the last 12 months.
- Ran a team of AI agents inside the engineering org (engineering manager, front-end dev, QA). The QA agent audited 4 repos and opened 21 fix PRs in 15 days. 6 were merged, including SDK test coverage going from 42% to 90%.
- Made 460+ commits and 239 merged PRs across 25 public Mento repositories.
Engineer
A cross-chain liquidity routing system for autonomous agents, built at ETHDenver 2025.
- Won 3 ecosystem prizes (Base, Optimism, Unichain).
- Selected for the OP Labs Interop Incubator.
Open-source contributor
Contract, UI and testing work for three DeFi protocols during the move from traditional finance into Web3.
- SushiSwap: built the automated end-to-end testing framework and CI workflows for the Trident router and UI, and contributed to multi-hop routing logic.
- Snowball: shipped DEX aggregator contracts and the UI integration.
- ArcherDAO: built a gasless limit-order system where signed transactions are submitted to a private miner network.
Senior Software Engineer
A global entity-management platform serving regulated financial institutions and fund administrators. It holds corporate and fund entity data that clients and regulators rely on.
- Built reporting modules and APIs for the platform.
- Built an OAuth 2.0 authentication server that secured external API access to client entity data.
- Designed centralised logging on Elasticsearch, Kibana and Filebeat, which cut production incident resolution time.
- Led adoption of .NET Core, CI/CD pipelines and containerisation across engineering teams.
Software Engineer
Electronic trading systems for an inter-dealer broker's inflation trading desk.
- Built the orderbook and matching engine for the inflation trading desk, where latency and correctness were contractual.
Graduate .Net Developer
Internal web applications team at a telecom operator, building n-tier line-of-business applications.
- Developed n-tier applications using Microsoft web development tools such as MVC and C#.
- Developed functionality from user stories using the MVC pattern and the TDD process.
- Assisted and trained colleagues in web development technologies, programming languages, and frameworks.
- Trained several graduates in using the MVC pattern and C# programming.
- Presented in-house applications to various teams.
- Documented processes and created technical documentation on application deployment guides.
- Assisted in creating test lab environments, deployed applications, and configured machines.
- Worked with the build master to ensure lab environments were configured correctly so that applications could be tested.
