Raymond Ma

Ava Labs, creators of Avalanche. AvaCloud launches and operates dedicated Avalanche L1 blockchains for financial institutions, enterprises, and governments.

• Grew AvaCloud app-repo contributors from 3 to 10 in under 3 months by making the codebase AI-ready, so designers and other non-engineers could ship production changes with Claude Code. Wrote the AGENTS.md files, rules, skills and orchestrators; led the org-wide Claude Code rollout and gave internal talks on AI-assisted development.
• Built a custom automated CI code reviewer, self-hosted on AWS Bedrock. It checks security issues and cross-app impact in the monorepo, and updates its review in place instead of piling new comments on the PR.
• Sole developer of Wallet-as-a-Service key management, built on Cubist (CubeSigner), used by large enterprise clients and banks running Avalanche-powered L1s.
• Owned the AvaCloud monorepo that apps and services share code through; moved Explorer, Cloud Portal and Bridge to automated, versioned releases with release-please.
• Product work on validator management and SETTL, a privacy-preserving wallet.

TypeScript / Go / React / Connect RPC

Advised on architecture for Addys, a proactive meeting agent (Electron, Composio), and anomaly detection for Insider Cash.

On-chain auction protocol and auction house for tokenized physical collectibles and NFTs.

• Deployed a suite of auction smart contracts on mainnet that processed over $1M USD in total on EVM chains.
• Built a hybrid auction-lending protocol that gives sellers instant liquidity for illiquid long-tail assets.
• Selected for Outlier Ventures x Polygon Basecamp with $100K in funding.

Social sneaker aggregator.

• Designed an ETL process handling 200K+ sneaker data records daily, getting past Cloudflare and PerimeterX bot protection.
• Grew to 100K+ iOS and Android installs organically through self-made TikTok videos and App Store Optimization.
• Helped close the pre-seed round with angel investors.

Platform that brokered the sale of Jack Dorsey's first tweet for $2.9M.

• Drove a test-driven workflow that took core smart contract test coverage from 0% to 100%.
• Built the seeding UI that let users invest in creators via microtransactions on Ethereum.

• Improved UI performance up to 400% in some areas by cutting wasted React renders.
• Won two company hackathons (Q4 2016 most creative: email sentiment analysis; Q2 2017 overall: SMS cloud step).

• Computer vision and deep learning projects (e.g. OCR of digital displays in photos); built a gRPC Python API server for the mobile client (protobuf over JSON sped up encode/decode and cut mobile battery use).

• Predictive sales analytics; built interactive D3.js charts reused by other devs and shipped in the client-facing app.
