Founder Engineer Invaders (invaders.trade)
Founded and built an AI-first trading platform end to end. The product was implemented as a TypeScript Turborepo monorepo with a React trading terminal, a Nest.js backend, Drizzle ORM, PostgreSQL, BullMQ, Redis, and a Next.js documentation site.
Owned features from vague requirement to production deployment across a self-custodial perpetuals DEX aggregator. Used architecture decision records as the standing design record and took responsibility for architecture, implementation, and delivery.
Designed and built an in-house LLM agent as a four-stage cascade: route, research, reason, revise. Routed multiple model providers through OpenRouter behind a single interface, enforced per-stage cost and step budgets, and implemented typed tool calling so the reasoning stage could ground itself in live account and market data while preserving security boundaries.
