Thoughts, deep dives, and experiments at the intersection of Gen AI, modular blockchains, and real-world curiosity. I write to learn, clarify, and share — sometimes with diagrams, code, or a spark of obsession.
👋 Hi, I’m Rashid
I’m a versatile full-stack engineer and technical writer with a strong Web3 bent and a deep curiosity for LLM-powered systems. From hacking away at EthGlobal to leading API documentation at Palo Alto Networks, I thrive at the crossroads of engineering and communication. My full background and a resume available at mcmoodoo.com.
🛠️ A few highlights
- Led API docs for 40+ APIs at Palo Alto Networks, overhauling the developer experience with a slick new UI and a docs-as-code workflow.
- EthGlobal 2024 Prize Winner – built CollaSwitch, an automated collateral swapper.
- AWS-savvy and cloud-native—provisioned and managed infrastructure with confidence.
- Jack of all trades: from Rust, Solidity, and Cairo to Bash scripting, React frontends, and deploying on-chain logic.
- I may not specialize in one stack, but I specialize in shipping—I get things done by wielding LLMs with surgical precision through efficient prompt engineering.
📚 The brave survivors of my judgment
I often find myself diving deep into the technical rabbit holes that fascinate me. Here are a few favorites:
- 🔁 EigenLayer: Leveraging Staked Ether – a deep dive into re-staking and the economic design powering this new security primitive.
- 🧠 GenLayer: Intelligent Contracts and LLM Interop – where smart contracts meet actually smart logic via LLMs.
- ⚖️ Lido Dual Governance – a systems analysis of Lido’s governance mechanism and its delicate game-theoretic dance.
- 🕵️♂️ What is Threat Intelligence? – an approachable breakdown of what threat intel is, and why it matters for defenders and devs alike.
If you’re into building the future—with clarity, curiosity, and a few good terminal commands—we’ll probably get along just fine.
