Senior Blockchain Engineer specializing in DeFi protocols and Web3 infrastructure. Building the decentralized future, one smart contract at a time.
🔗 Web3 Native: 4+ years deep in the blockchain trenches. I've built everything from algorithmic stablecoins to cross-chain bridges, NFT marketplaces to zero-collateral lending protocols. Currently helping startups and DAOs scale their on-chain operations through Upwork.
⚡ What Sets Me Apart:
- DeFi Expertise: Architected yield-generating protocols, forked and enhanced SafeMoon mechanics, implemented Venus Protocol integrations
- Cross-Chain Development: Built token bridges connecting ERC20 to BEP20, experienced with Ethereum, BSC, and emerging L2s
- Full-Stack Web3: Smart contracts to frontend dApps - I ship complete solutions
- AI + Blockchain Convergence: Unique background combining ML/AI with blockchain (published research on Token Curated Registries)
🛠️ Blockchain Stack:
- Smart Contracts: Solidity, Rust, Go
- DeFi Protocols: Uniswap/PancakeSwap forks, Lending protocols, Staking mechanisms
- Web3 Tools: Hardhat, Truffle, Web3.js, Ethers.js
- Infrastructure: IPFS, The Graph, Chainlink oracles
- Security: Smart contract auditing, testing frameworks
💡 Recent Builds:
- Algorithmic stablecoin with interest-earning minting mechanism
- Custom DEX with enhanced tokenomics and reflection mechanisms
- Zero-collateral loan protocol for Nord Finance
- Cross-chain bridge API for ERC20/BEP20 token migration
🎯 Startup DNA:
- Shipped production code at Nord Finance (Series A DeFi startup)
- Comfortable with rapid iteration and wearing multiple hats
- Experience from seed-stage (Lambda Vision) to growth-stage companies
- Remote-first mindset with proven async collaboration skills
