What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable Web3 infra and developer tools, where I can ship production dApps, improve developer productivity, and work in a collaborative, engineering-led culture.

I am a web developer and blockchain engineer experienced in Laravel, PHP, Rust, and Solana, with a track record building SaaS and decentralized applications. I founded Laraub, a Laravel package directory that attracts 3k+ monthly views and includes sponsorship and articles features to support developer adoption.

At Odinala I work on bridge protocols and relayer infrastructure, using Rust (Anchor), Solidity (Foundry), TypeScript, gRPC and Bash to ensure resilient cross-chain transfers and always-on relayer services. I also review and audit EVM smart contracts for critical signature and security issues.

I built aquaPush, an in-house deployment tool that integrates GitHub auth and API-driven droplet provisioning to simplify deploying Laravel projects to DigitalOcean, and I have experience building monitoring cron jobs and high-throughput queues for production systems.

I teach backend and web development (PHP, HTML, CSS, React) to bring students from novice to junior-ready, and I enjoy improving developer productivity, Web3 tooling, and scalable infrastructure.
