Exodus
NYSE American: EXOD
Tech Lead, Exchange Team
•Led a 6-engineer team building the exchange behind Exodus' self-custodial wallet: swap aggregation, provider integrations, order routing, and pricing. The product line drives ~97% of company revenue. Mentored the team and set technical direction.
•Developed and operated the public XO Swap API (~12M requests/day), the trade execution service used by the wallet and 10+ external B2B partners. Event-driven processing over Kafka and BullMQ, where idempotency, retries, and data integrity are non-negotiable.
•Designed and executed zero-downtime, multi-phase data migrations (dual-write, backfill, then gradual cutover) across orders and provider assets, improving data integrity and eliminating fragile legacy mappings.
•Owned monitoring, alerting, reporting, and incident response end to end. Built AI-assisted observability tooling integrating monitoring platforms with LLM agents for faster incident analysis.
•Removed ~28k net lines of code while consolidating fragmented services (e.g. PricingService), cutting maintenance cost and simplifying core architecture.
•Hardened geolocation enforcement (IP validation, forwarded-header edge cases) into a shared networking package, strengthening compliance posture across services.
