What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a DeFi-focused role where I can build automated yield strategies, run on-chain analytics, optimize transaction costs, and deliver research-driven returns within a collaborative, fast-moving crypto team.

I am a DeFi-focused technologist with a BSc in Information Systems with Business from Thames Valley University, London, and a strong foundation in Oracle SQL, Java, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. I apply programming and business systems knowledge to design data-driven solutions and research-backed strategies.

At Beefy Finance as a Yield-Farmer since Feb 2023, I automate yield-generation strategies, analyze gas fees, and time transactions to maximize returns for liquidity providers. I specialize in on-chain analytics, DeFi strategy development, and research reporting to deliver measurable profitability improvements.
