What I'm looking for

I seek senior blockchain engineering roles where I can design secure, scalable DeFi/NFT systems, lead architecture and security efforts, work in collaborative cross-functional teams, and drive production excellence with strong CI/CD and observability.

I am a senior software developer with 6+ years building secure, scalable DeFi, NFT and cross-chain systems. I architect and deliver smart contracts, account abstraction (ERC-4337), payment orchestration, and bridging solutions using Solidity and full‑stack technologies.

I focus on performance, security, and reliability—optimizing gas usage, engineering randomness beacons and custody contracts, and designing MEV mitigation and time-oracle integrations. I prioritize CI/CD, real-time monitoring, subgraphs, and automated verification to produce auditable, production-grade platforms and excellent cross-functional outcomes.
