Jelilat Anofiu is an AI Engineer with nine years of experience building resilient backend systems for crypto and financial use cases, from blockchain clients and RPC endpoints to on-chain data processing and agentic payment infrastructure. They have driven full-transaction-lifecycle solutions—execution interfaces, stateful services, simulation tooling, and developer-facing reliability features—at scale for wallets, developers, and on-chain applications. At Nethermind they contributed to Juno, a Golang Starknet client, implementing core block hash, transaction and event commitment logic and improving logging and network configuration, demonstrating practical impact on a growing open-source blockchain stack. Their background blends deep engineering with research into zero-knowledge cryptography and distributed validator technology, and they thrive in high-ownership, ambiguous environments. Based in the UK with a mathematics degree, Jelilat pairs quantitative rigor with hands-on delivery across both product explorations and production infrastructure.
