What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to innovate in decentralized finance, with a focus on security and team collaboration.

I am a Senior Smart Contract Engineer with over 4 years of experience in architecting, developing, and deploying secure and scalable smart contracts across DeFi, NFT, and custom blockchain ecosystems. My specialization in Solidity and EVM, combined with a strong foundation in Account Abstraction and cross-chain interoperability, allows me to lead the end-to-end development of complex decentralized protocols. I have a proven track record of enhancing protocol reliability and performance while maintaining a sharp focus on security.

Throughout my career, I have successfully designed and deployed innovative solutions, such as scalable cross-chain bridges and automated market maker contracts. My experience includes collaborating with technical and product teams to ensure seamless integration and user experience. I am passionate about building Web3 solutions that drive the future of decentralized finance and blockchain utility, and I continuously strive to foster team growth through knowledge sharing and training in security-first coding practices.
