👋 Hey, I'm Ben Fox

Full-stack engineer & entrepreneur building across four areas: applied LLM / AI systems, on-chain infrastructure, real-time backend, and shipped consumer products — in TypeScript, React Native, and GraphQL.

I've designed, built, and operated production systems solo, end to end. California-based, open to contract and full-time work.


🧩 Selected Engineering

Sanitized excerpts from private production systems — the subsystems worth reading on their own, with the domain edge stripped out.

Two techniques from a browser-based market-data tool, extracted and sanitized.
Built in: TypeScript · MV3 browser extensions · applied LLM + vision extraction
→ Reads a web app's own WebSocket feed from the main world, and pulls trustworthy structured data out of an LLM by having a deterministic solver check the model's work.

Two subsystems from a merchant-of-record payments platform, extracted and sanitized.
Built in: TypeScript · Ethereum / viem · AWS KMS · Stripe / PayPal rails
→ Fuzzy fiat-to-invoice payment matching with transposition detection, and KMS-signed USDC settlement where the private key never leaves the HSM.


⛓️ On-Chain Infrastructure

Gambit

A low-latency EVM execution engine for time-sensitive DEX trades, built around a pluggable multi-DEX adapter layer.
Built in: TypeScript · ethers.js · TypeChain · multi-chain (Arbitrum · BSC · Avalanche)
→ Adapter pattern isolating per-DEX router/factory quirks, live gas estimation with block-limit clamping, fee-on-transfer support, and slippage/price-impact math.

🦊 Foxhole

A Solana execution system with on-chain safety screening and automated position management.
Built in: TypeScript · Solana · Raydium AMM · @solana/web3.js
→ Composable safety-filter pipeline (mint-renounced / freeze / metadata / LP-burn / pool-size), a position manager with trailing stops and a catastrophic-loss guard, and versioned transactions with dual-path token-account detection.


⚙️ Real-Time Backend

A real-time backend fusing live market data with social sentiment, exposed through one GraphQL API. Three independent Node processes over MySQL + Redis.
Built in: TypeScript · Apollo GraphQL · Bull / Redis · Polygon.io WebSocket · PM2
→ Live per-minute market ingestion, a time-of-day-normalized relative-volume signal, a queue-driven scraping/backfill pipeline, and DataLoader batching throughout.
