What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and collaboration in the Web3 space, where I can leverage my blockchain expertise to drive impactful projects.

As a Senior Blockchain Developer at ConsenSys, I have honed my skills in delivering scalable and secure decentralized applications. With over 10 years of comprehensive software development experience, including 4+ years specializing in blockchain technologies, I have successfully developed and deployed over 35 smart contracts on Ethereum, directly impacting over 500K users globally. My commitment to security is evident in my leadership of a smart contract audit initiative that reduced vulnerabilities by 93%, preventing potential exploits valued at over $12 million.

My journey into the Web3 space began at Rally, where I transitioned from Web2 to Web3, mastering smart contract development and decentralized architecture. I led the integration of Web3.js and Ethers.js, significantly improving API latency and user retention. My technical expertise extends to frontend development, where I engineered responsive applications using Vue.js and React.js, enhancing client engagement metrics by 60% across various projects. I am passionate about optimizing workflows and accelerating product time-to-market, always striving to advance the Web3 ecosystem with clean, auditable, and gas-efficient code.
