What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a Blockchain Developer position at EY, where I can apply blockchain engineering and performance optimization to build robust solutions from complex business requirements and enhance operational efficiency.

I built the Gold Asset Tokenization dApp (GXAU) as a bootcamp capstone, combining an ERC-20 token with Chainlink price feeds and automation. Its 23 Hardhat and Foundry unit tests passed, and I used Echidna fuzzing to verify 15 security properties.

As a freelance Blockchain & Full-Stack Developer, I prototyped OpenZeppelin-based smart contracts and DeFi vaults for clients exploring token-based loyalty and payment solutions. I also reduced transfer gas costs by 20% in an EVM optimization project, from 85k to 68k gas per transfer.
