I build the backend, connect the product, and stay responsible for what happens after launch. Seven years of hands-on engineering, commercial product ownership, and open-source work across fintech, AI security, and mobile. An MBA helps me connect technical decisions to the business problem they need to solve.

  • Product Owner, MPC blockchain product line — technical delivery across a self-custody wallet and blockchain onboarding. The waitlist dApp shipped to BNB Smart Chain mainnet in August 2026. Separately, my backend work at Must Company / MSQUARE Global supports a fintech platform serving 90,000 daily active users.
  • Founder of Sether — open-source, streaming-native redaction for AI apps (@raeven-co/sether on npm, MIT). Sensitive fields are tokenised before they cross your trust boundary to model providers.
  • Six products shipped 0→1 — Fameely (family digital-safety platform, live), StreetAI (community-safety intelligence), MyLekki (client delivery), Sether, Raeven Reader and Raeven Marketplace. Concept notes, data models, pricing and launch surfaces included, not just the code.
  • Rust plus full-stack delivery — supply-chain and infra security tools on crates.io and npm, alongside TypeScript, Node.js, React, Next.js, and Flutter, so I can own APIs, dashboards, and mobile surfaces end to end.

  • Sether

    Streaming-native PII redaction for AI applications. Tokenizes sensitive data before it reaches OpenAI/Anthropic, or swaps it for realistic, reversible decoys (alias engine, new in 0.7.0), and restores it transparently in the response. Includes controls and evidence to support privacy reviews; using a library alone does not establish regulatory compliance. Published on npm (@raeven-co/sether) and PyPI (sether), MIT.
