What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, production-grade Web3 products where I can work across smart contracts and frontend UX, improve gas efficiency, and contribute to DeFi, NFT, stablecoin, or DAO systems.

I've delivered 15+ production smart contracts for NFT launches, DeFi protocols, and DAO governance as an independent blockchain developer, including an ERC-721A minting DApp that sold 5,000 NFTs in under two hours. I also built a fiat-collateralised stablecoin MVP, a DAO governance system for 450+ active voters, and multi-chain NFT infrastructure.

As a part-time smart contract auditor for Code4rena and Sherlock bug bounties, I've identified four high-severity re-entrancy and access-control vulnerabilities and written formal reports with proof-of-concept exploits and remediation steps. I care deeply about gas efficiency, security, and seamless Web3 UX across Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, Arbitrum, and Base.
