What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities in innovative companies that value blockchain technology and offer growth in smart contract development.

I am a dedicated Blockchain Engineer with a strong focus on zero-knowledge proofs and smart contract development. Currently, I am contributing to innovative projects at Electron Labs, where I have implemented the Plonk+KZG proving scheme in Rust and developed ZK Proof Aggregation and ZK-based Light Clients. My extensive experience with zk-SNARKs and consensus mechanisms for Tendermint and Ethereum has equipped me with a deep understanding of blockchain technology.

Previously, I worked as a Web3 and Smart Contract Developer at Dyeus, where I theorized and deployed various smart contracts in the DeFi space, including yield farming strategies and tokenomics models. My technical skills encompass a wide range of technologies, including Solidity, Hardhat, JavaScript, and various APIs. I have also gained valuable experience as a Research Engineer Intern, where I developed a Python-based chatbot for stock market analysis and explored advanced web scraping techniques.
