What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles building and securing DeFi and restaking protocols, emphasizing production reliability, security-first engineering, and cross-team collaboration.

I am a Smart Contract Engineer with seven years in software engineering and six years focused on blockchain and DeFi. I design and implement production-grade smart contract infrastructure—lending, yield-bearing tokens, staking vaults, options and leverage trading, and cross-chain transfers—while driving security-first development and monitoring solutions such as Chain.Love.

I have contributed to protocol architecture and integrations (LYS Protocol, PercentMe, Lolik), built AVS solutions leveraging EigenLayer and SSV Network, and completed a Smart Contract Auditor Fellowship at Nethermind. I combine hands-on Solidity development (Foundry, OpenZeppelin, Ethers.js) with auditing, formal verification fundamentals, deep testing, and on-chain reliability engineering to deliver secure, scalable DeFi systems.
