What I'm looking for

I seek a remote or hybrid role in backend or blockchain development where I can build secure smart contracts, contribute to DevOps practices, grow in cybersecurity, and collaborate with cross-functional teams on impactful projects.

I am a resourceful and driven backend and blockchain developer with hands-on experience designing and deploying Solidity smart contracts, building DApps, and automating backend workflows with Python and shell scripting.

I have contributed to projects that improved deployment efficiency and user engagement through gas-optimized, secure smart contracts and Web3 integrations, and I have practical DevOps exposure with Docker, CI/CD simulations, and cloud instances on AWS and Azure.

Alongside software work, I am expanding expertise in cybersecurity and compliance—having interned on ISO-based compliance kits and GRC tasks—and I bring strong problem-solving, communication, and remote collaboration skills to cross-functional teams.
