Hi, I’m Omar

I design and ship end-to-end products under hard deadlines: smart contracts, the web apps on top of them and the AI agents that operate them. My security training shapes every decision — threat model first, then code

Before software I trained as a public accountant. That background gives me a useful lens for controls, traceability and audit — which is why the things I build leave evidence behind

Stellar Elite · BAF × Stellar

TilcAI

Commerce among AI agents, people and businesses on Stellar

Problem

Agents, people and businesses need a shared way to exchange value in an increasingly automated economy

What I built

TilcAI explores that commerce layer on Stellar. The public concept was presented during Stellar Elite; implementation is continuing after the program

Result

A public product direction and visual identity, shared at the close of Stellar Elite

1st place · Ethereum Bolivia Buildathon 2026

Vector52

Blockchain forensics you can reproduce — don’t just trace the money, prove the claim

Problem

Victims of phishing, hacks and fraud get a wallet address and nothing else. Explorers show raw transactions, not a story a lawyer, exchange or investigator can act on

What I built

Turns a public address into a graph of inflows, outflows and counterparties with verifiable evidence. The core computes, the evidence proves, an AI agent explains. Paid per investigation with x402 on Avalanche and exposed as an MCP server

Result

1st place in Real World Applications; evolved into Vector52 Capsule for ETHOnline 2026

  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • Avalanche
  • x402
  • Reown
  • MCP
  • Supabase
Pay-per-Thought — project screenshot

LabLab.ai · Arc hackathon

Pay-per-Thought

Auditable AI reasoning — agents pay per thought, with receipts

Problem

AI agents consume paid compute and data with no per-step accounting: nobody can audit what an agent paid for, or why it decided what it did

What I built

A real-time compute market on Arc: Gemini agents pay each reasoning step with Circle Nanopayments in USDC, signed as EIP-712 intents, calling 100+ x402 endpoints, with on-chain reputation in Vyper

Result

111 verified on-chain transactions and a verified Reputation.vy contract

  • Circle
  • x402
  • EIP-712
  • Vyper
  • Gemini
AIni Pay — project screenshot

1st place · CochaBlock Challenge 2025

AIni Pay

Crypto payments in plain language across EVM networks and Celestia

Problem

Sending crypto still means copying 42-character addresses, picking networks and guessing gas: one typo and the money is gone

What I built

A conversational assistant that turns “send 20 USDC to…” into a validated transaction: it extracts address, asset and amount, checks them and executes across EVM chains and a Celestia rollup built with Rollkit

Result

Won the CochaBlock Challenge and a trip to Devconnect Argentina; later submitted to the Lisk grant program

  • TypeScript
  • Celestia
  • Rollkit

Nova Bazaar — project screenshot

Stellar Hacks · Agentic AI

Nova Bazaar

A marketplace where AI agents buy services and pay natively on Stellar

Problem

AI agents cannot pay for the services they consume on their own — traditional rails demand accounts and human sign-ups

What I built

PNPM monorepo: marketplace API (Express + Prisma), Next.js 15 dashboard and three providers. x402 pay-per-request plus MPP payment-channel sessions settled in USDC on Stellar, and a TypeScript agent SDK

Result

End-to-end machine-to-machine commerce demo — a reference architecture for x402/MPP on Stellar

AndesMaaS 3.0 — project screenshot

Top 10 · Stellar Ideathon

AndesMaaS 3.0

Citizen mobility oracles — gamified DePIN for La Paz on Stellar

Problem

La Paz has no real-time mobility data; transport eats 15–20 % of a student’s budget amid roadblocks and extreme weather

What I built

Commit-reveal reporting against fraud, Proof of Location under 500 m and $ANDES rewards through Soroban contracts, with game-style missions and AI surge incentives

Result

A model rider funds ~30 % of her fares by reporting her commute; the city gets a live mobility dashboard with no sensors

  • Stellar
  • Soroban
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Geolocation
ENSVault — project screenshot

ETHGlobal HackMoney 2026

ENSVault

Your name, your strategy — ENS names as portable DeFi strategy vaults

Problem

DeFi users reconfigure slippage, routers and risk in every dApp; strategies are locked to interfaces with no portable identity

What I built

Four contracts — Factory, Vault, StrategyRegistry and a custom ENSStrategyResolver — read a strategy schema from ENS text records, enabling copy trading and reputation tied to trader.eth

Result

One name carries strategy, risk profile and track record across protocols

  • Solidity
  • ENS
  • IPFS
  • Uniswap
  • Aave
FlowPay Sync — project screenshot

Aleph Hackathon 2026

FlowPay Sync

Smart payment links with AI upselling over WhatsApp (Fiserv/Clover)

Problem

LATAM merchants close sales in WhatsApp chats but collect payments by hand — no conversion tracking, no upselling, no analytics

What I built

One-click payment links with pre-filled WhatsApp messages, an upselling engine per transaction and a merchant dashboard — typed end to end with Zod and Clover POS hooks

Result

Turns a chat thread into a measurable sales channel that raises the average ticket

  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • shadcn/ui
  • Zod
  • Clover API
TERRAGRID — project screenshot

ElevateU 2026

TERRAGRID

Autonomous AgroNuclear food-production nodes for extreme territories

Problem

Regions with extreme climate and weak logistics cannot sustain agriculture — food security hangs on fragile supply chains

What I built

Demonstrative MVP: controlled-environment vertical farming, offline-first IoT sensing, an operations dashboard, digital traceability and energy simulation, with an SMR microgrid as the power layer

Result

A full venture package — problem, architecture, budget, roadmap — taken from thesis to fundable proposal

  • IoT
  • Offline-first
  • Data pipeline
  • Energy sim
  • Blender
