LayerZero V2 · DVN config and hardening · Circle CCTP · On-chain agents · 23 chains in production
Cross-chain and on-chain agent infrastructure, production-proven.
Richard Wayne. I built the first OFT launchpad on LayerZero V2 across 7 chains (roughly $300K invested, 5,000 users at launch), the first omnichain NFT platform, and the Circle CCTP Solana-to-EVM route most teams stall on. Right now: AFI, an agentic bank moving real money across 23 chains with Postgres advisory locks and per-address nonce management that never strands funds.
Available for new cross-chain work. One build slot open. Scope calls answered within one business day.
Everyone fears the agent that says done and did nothing. So I build systems where nothing counts as done without a confirmed on-chain transaction hash.

What I do
Cross-chain and DeFi infrastructure
LayerZero V2 OApp/OFT/ONFT, DVN (decentralized verifier network) configuration and hardening, Circle CCTP including the Solana-to-EVM route, concurrency that never strands funds: Postgres advisory locks, per-address chain locks, fresh-fetched nonces. Battle-tested across 7 chains in production, not demoed once on testnet.
On-chain agent systems
Agents that execute real on-chain actions under proof, not chatbots that describe them. Execution layers, observability, kill-switches, and the trust architecture that makes autonomous money movement safe to ship.
Founding-engineer product builds
Contracts, backend, database, frontend, deploy. I co-founded the first omnichain NFT platform, built a $300K cross-chain launchpad, and run a personal AI system that lets me ship at the pace of a small team. I have run this full-stack loop for 10 years.
How I work
Scope call.
30 minutes. You describe the problem, I tell you honestly whether I am the right builder and what I would do first.
Discovery sprint.
A short paid sprint that produces architecture, a build plan, and a demo slice. You own everything produced.
The build.
Weekly ships you can click, not status decks. Every claim verifiable in the repo.
Operate and harden.
Observability, kill-switches, and handoff docs. I build systems that survive me leaving.
I built my first application at 14. Over ten years of founding-engineer work later, seven of them running production systems, I have raised $750K across two projects, shipped a $300K cross-chain launchpad, co-founded the first omnichain NFT platform, and run a sole-proprietor venture to $20M in revenue in 2019. I graduated magna cum laude from Rutgers and advised its electrical engineering capstone team. I work daily with a personal AI neural net I designed, which is why I ship at the pace of a small team.
