What I'm looking for

I seek roles building Rust and blockchain infrastructure—especially Bitcoin/Stratum V2 and ZK systems—on open-source teams focused on privacy, security, scalable systems, mentorship, and production-grade impact.

I am a software engineer specializing in Rust, blockchain, and zero-knowledge proofs, currently contributing to Bitcoin mining infrastructure (Stratum V2) at Demand Pool as part of Summer of Bitcoin 2025.

I build full-stack decentralized applications and backends—my projects include zkCertify (ZK-based credential verification, zkVerify Online Hackathon winner), MantREX (RWA trading platform), and Study Notion (scalable ed-tech). At Demand Pool I implemented multi-upstream pool support and scalable connection logic; at ZappInvest I improved frontend performance and modular UI development.

I mentor and teach, having led LNMHacks7.0 and served as an instructor and TA, and I focus on privacy, security, and scalable systems using Rust, Solidity, ReactJS, and ZK stacks. I want to join teams building open-source, high-impact infrastructure and privacy-preserving blockchain services.
