What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior Web3 engineering roles that combine hands-on smart-contract and backend development with strategic leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and community engagement at growth-stage crypto or DeFi-focused companies.

I am a senior Web3 engineer and strategic operator with experience building DeFi products and leading cross-functional teams. At Fractality I designed quantitative strategies delivering 20% APY with <2% drawdown and represented the protocol across community and partner channels.

As a founding engineer at Cryptoworth I helped scale a SaaS crypto accounting platform from 0 to production, implemented CI/CD, SOC2 compliance, and built global DevOps infrastructure while hiring and mentoring engineers. I led data and automation at Elevated Terra, delivering 300% throughput improvements through AI-driven pipeline optimization. I also developed web systems at Ryerson to support remote learning.

I publish crypto-first research and tools, built a profitable MEV bot (+2000% P/L), and maintain GoodCoderBadTrader.com. I seek roles where I can combine engineering, strategy, and community to ship high-impact DeFi products.
