What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own production Web3 infrastructure—validators, RPC/AVS nodes, and monitoring—while improving uptime, performance, and security through Kubernetes, automation, and rigorous troubleshooting.

I’m a Blockchain Infrastructure & DevOps engineer with hands-on experience deploying and operating validator, RPC, archive, and AVS nodes across Ethereum, EigenLayer, Symbiotic, Cosmos ecosystem, and multiple Layer-1 and Layer-2 protocols. I focus on production readiness—high availability, monitoring, performance optimization, and secure operation of mission-critical Web3 infrastructure.

In my current and recent roles, I’ve led operations and technical ownership for validator, RPC, and AVS infrastructure. I manage Ethereum node clients (Geth, Erigon, Lighthouse), configure Kubernetes-based blockchain infrastructure, and set up reliable RPC routing and high availability using NGINX and HAProxy.

I also bring a strong DevOps and systems background from cloud and Linux administration, along with automation and operational troubleshooting. Beyond infrastructure work, I’ve been recognized as a cybersecurity researcher (Hall of Fame, Inflectra.com) for discovering and reporting a valid bug.
