PROFILE

Ashton Stephens

Worked on the stacks-network/sbtc repository, delivering twelve features and resolving critical bugs over four months. Focused on backend and infrastructure, the work included building secure API endpoints, implementing API key management, and enforcing transaction fee caps to improve access control and operational safety. Leveraged Rust and TypeScript to develop scalable API integrations, while AWS CDK and DynamoDB were used for infrastructure as code and data management. Enhanced deployment reliability with Docker-based automation and CI/CD pipelines, and expanded API documentation for client integration. The engineering approach emphasized maintainability, cost efficiency, and robust data handling across blockchain and cloud environments.
