Christopher Hirschauer

Software Developer / Author
Sioux City, Iowa

I'm a systems architect and blockchain developer with roots in the most unforgiving side of sales: a decade of outbound telemarketing. That grind taught me resilience, persuasion, and the value of clear execution—skills that now fuel my work building autonomous arbitrage systems in crypto. After 10+ years in high-pressure sales environments, I pivoted into tech—studying computer networking at WiT and business at Iowa Central. Today, I design and build high-performance, off-chain Python infrastructure for MEV arbitrage, powered by: Plugin-based ingestion of on-chain data from DEXs (Uniswap, Curve, Balancer, etc.) Liquidity graph modeling and arbitrage detection using Bellman-Ford, Dijkstra, and Floyd-Warshall Flashloan orchestration and loan/purchase normalization Solidity smart contracts used purely for atomic execution—off-chain logic handles the rest Clean, maintainable Python with strategic logging and strict separation of concerns Shared state architecture optimized for extensibility and speed Full-stack awareness from RPC-level details to execution pipelines and MEV bundles Beyond core development, I’m a published author, content creator, and technical educator. I write books, guides, and technical breakdowns for those entering or advancing in Web3. My work includes: 📚 Author of Inside the Black Forest: The MEV Playbook and Smart Contracts: The Future of Business, Finance, and Legal Systems 🧠 Blogs, simulations, and long-form breakdowns of on-chain infrastructure, arbitrage logic, and smart contract architecture 🌐 End-to-end development of websites, backends, dashboards, and APIs 🛠️ Hands-on scripting, debugging, refactoring, and full lifecycle system orchestration 🧩 Modular plugin design and app frameworks for MEV and data aggregation 🔐 Security-first thinking: reentrancy checks, access control, gas profiling, and more 💬 Personalized 1-on-1 consulting, white-label solutions, and code audits 🗂️ Technical documentation, architecture mapping, and codebase onboarding packages 🚀 From bootstrapped prototypes to production-ready agents that compete in the dark forest If it touches code, data, or on-chain execution—I do it. I don’t outsource, I don’t flinch, and I don’t ship anything I wouldn’t run myself. Always building. Always optimizing. Let’s connect. I engineer autonomous systems that move capital faster than humans react. No dashboards. Just execution.
