What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role that allows me to leverage my full-stack and blockchain development expertise to build scalable, secure systems that make a real-world impact.

My full-stack experience includes Golang, Java, Python, FastAPI, React, TypeScript, Next.js, and AWS, combined with DevOps skills using Docker, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines to streamline deployments and reliability.

I prioritize secure, performant on-chain logic and seamless frontend integration, and I mentor teams to adopt best practices while driving end-to-end product delivery for web3 applications.

I am a versatile blockchain and full-stack developer with 5+ years building in Solana (Rust, Anchor) and Ethereum (Solidity) ecosystems and 9+ years as a full-stack engineer.

I have delivered production-grade smart contracts and scalable dApps, developing SPL tokens, PDAs, ERC-20/721/1155 contracts, and DeFi protocols while maintaining strong test coverage and security practices.
