Keyanmaskoot

Keyan Maskoot developed core blockchain infrastructure for the Anastasia-Labs/midgard repository, focusing on secure transaction workflows, fraud-proof systems, and robust state management. Over 13 months, he engineered features such as checkpoint-based recovery, double-spend detection, and withdrawal validation, using TypeScript, Haskell, and the Aiken framework. His work included deep refactoring for maintainability, modular abstractions for smart contracts, and integration of PostgreSQL for scalable data management. By improving concurrency, error handling, and developer documentation, Keyan enabled reliable settlement, enhanced observability, and streamlined onboarding. The result was a maintainable, production-ready backend supporting complex Cardano-based transaction logic and fraud detection.
