Alperen Dere

Experienced Software Architect with a proven track record in designing and implementing high-performance systems across Layer-1 and Layer-2 blockchain protocols. Led the architecture of custom consensus mechanisms atop CometBFT and built secure, scalable smart contracts on platforms like Solana and Cosmos SDK.

Pioneered the development of AI agent ecosystems, enabling multi-agent collaboration through shared memory, message-passing protocols, and dynamic role assignment. Designed and deployed containerized task execution environments using Docker, gRPC, and Redis-backed pub/sub systems. Integrated retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines with vector databases (ChromaDB, FAISS) and orchestrated agent workflows with support for tool-use, long-term memory, and adaptive planning.

Strong hands-on experience with:

• Smart contract development (Rust, Solidity, CosmWasm)
• Distributed system design and infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes, cloud-native tooling)
• Zero-knowledge proofs, MPC, and Merkle tree validations
• Building production-grade backend APIs (FastAPI, Node.js)
• Leading projects from architecture to deployment in cross-functional teams

Passionate about decentralization, verifiable AI, and building infrastructure that powers the next generation of open, autonomous systems.
