I'm looking to build secure, production grade DeFi and blockchain systems, combining smart contract development with backend engineering and protocol integrations.

What I'm looking for
I chose blockchain because I wanted to work at the intersection of software engineering and the future of finance. What started as curiosity about crypto gradually became an interest in building reliable systems that power Decentralized Financial applications.
Today, I work as a Backend & Smart Contract Engineer, contributing to backend services and smart contracts across the Sui and EVM ecosystems. My work has included reward distribution using Merkle proofs, backend microservices, automated DEX buyback infrastructure, and protocol integrations using technologies like Move, Solidity, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Redis.
What I enjoy most about engineering isn't just building features, it's understanding why systems are designed the way they are, exploring trade offs, and continuously improving them. My approach is simple: understand the problem, build a reliable solution, and then make it simpler, more efficient, and easier to maintain.
I'm always looking to deepen my understanding of Decentralized Finance and contribute to the infrastructure that powers the next generation of financial systems.
