Experienced Blockchain Engineer with expertise in smart contract development.
What I'm looking for
I'm a Blockchain Engineer with over 6 years of experience specializing in smart contract development and backend infrastructure. My journey began with EVM and Solidity, and I have since focused on Rust-based Solana indexing and cross-chain trading systems. I excel at building high-performance, event-driven systems and have a strong background in microservices.
In my current role as a Senior Blockchain Engineer at Private AI, I developed a meme coin trading platform from scratch, architecting high-performance backend services and mentoring frontend teams. My work has significantly improved data accuracy and transaction efficiency, showcasing my ability to deliver robust solutions in fast-paced environments.
Previously, I worked at SevenLabs and Kyber Network, where I developed critical components for blockchain systems and optimized smart contracts for cost efficiency. My educational background in Computer Science from Texas A&M University has equipped me with a solid foundation in distributed systems and database design.
