Hello, I’m Edmond
I’m a software engineer who enjoys understanding complicated systems and making them easier to use.
I currently work at Veda, where I build backend systems for DeFi vaults managing millions of dollars in onchain assets. My work includes protocol integrations and vault management across different strategies, assets, and networks.
Before that, I worked on cross-chain products at LootRush, co-founded a startup, and built mapping and civic-data tools. I took a slightly unusual route into software, and I’m glad I did.
Selected chapters from the last few years.
Veda
I build backend infrastructure for production DeFi vaults managing millions of dollars in assets. My work spans protocol integrations and the systems used to operate vaults reliably across chains, assets, and strategies.
Veda scale: $32B+ volume handled · 200+ vaults · 300k+ active users
DeFi · protocol integrations · vault management · backend systems
LootRush
Led development of token swaps, bridges, transfers, smart-account onboarding, subscriptions, and reporting. Built fault-tolerant NFT infrastructure supporting rentals and returns for more than 100 games across six networks.
Cross-chain · smart accounts · NFTs · payments · product engineering
Ensembl
Designed and shipped five productivity tools with a small team. I also ran more than 100 customer conversations, managed product development, and helped raise $100,000 from Forum Ventures.

CCRPC
Built public-interest software for Central Illinois: geospatial APIs, accessibility models, data portals, dashboards, and open-source GIS tools.

Things I make time for outside of work.
A practice platform I’m building to help students prepare for standardized tests, understand where they need support, and make better use of their study time.
Visit scorly.org ↗I teach programming to students and lead software engineering interns on the weekends, helping young people turn curiosity into practical experience building technology.
See the STEM program ↗I later earned a master’s degree in Geographic Information Science from the University of Illinois. Maps led me to data, data led me to programming, and programming gave me a way to build things that could reach many more people.
That history still shapes how I work: listen carefully, understand the larger system, and remember there is a person on the other side of the screen.
I’ve also returned to teaching through my weekend volunteer work at Themelios Education, where I teach programming and mentor software engineering interns.
