Lead Smart Contract Engineer

Lead Smart Contract Engineer with 5+ years shipping production code across EVM, StarkNet, and TON. Currently leading smart contract architecture at Swarm Markets β€” an EU-regulated RWA platform. Built dOTC v2 (decentralized OTC settlement with Chainlink price feeds), Nifty Bundles (ERC4626 vault system), and one of the few production Chainlink CCIP integrations for regulated RWA infrastructure. Contracts audited by PeckShield and Pessimistic. Live on 10+ mainnets.

Also contract work for Belong.net β€” shipped the $LONG token (now on Binance Alpha, Gate, MEXC), NFT ticketing, and CheckIn protocol across EVM, Cairo/StarkNet, and Threaded Solidity/TON. Audited by Hacken.

Before that: two years as a smart contract auditor at Hacken β€” DeFi protocols, DAOs, token systems, upgradeable contracts. Which is why I treat audit-readiness as part of the build process, not an afterthought.

Open to Lead, Senior, and Architect roles in DeFi, RWA, cross-chain infra, and security. Remote, EU hours.

Experience

Smart Contract Lead / Advisor
M0narch
2025 - 2026
- Led smart contract development for an on-chain iGaming platform focused on provably fair betting and fully on-chain game mechanics β€” testnet deployments and pre-launch architecture. - Designed Solidity-based contracts for betting flows, game settlement, payout mechanics, treasury and fee handling, plus reusable modules intended to support a multi-game roadmap. - Integrated Pyth for fairness-critical game outcomes, enabling transparent on-chain verification of randomness, settlement, and payout logic β€” a core requirement for the provably-fair claim. - Owned contract architecture, testing methodology, security hardening, and deployment workflows through pre-launch β€” including coordination with product and frontend teams on contract interfaces.
Smart Contract Engineer β€” Multichain (Solidity, Cairo, Threaded Solidity)
Belong.Net
2024 - 2026
Contract engagement on Belong Net's multichain Web3 platform β€” NFT ticketing, token-gated access, venue check-ins, referral rewards, and $LONG token utility. - Shipped production Solidity contracts for the EVM platform β€” ERC-721 AccessToken, ERC-1155 CreditToken, factory deployments, royalties, vesting wallets, escrow, staking, $LONG token logic, signature verification, and Belong CheckIn flows. Contracts live across the platform's supported EVM chains. - Built Belong CheckIn protocol logic end-to-end β€” venue deposits, customer payments, promoter attribution, ERC-1155 credit accounting, staking-tier fees, escrowed payouts, and $LONG buyback/burn routing. This is the core economic loop of the Belong platform. - Implemented DEX swap infrastructure for $LONG/USD-token flows across Uniswap/Pancake-style routers (V3/V4), including Permit2 approval handling, price-feed-based slippage checks, fork tests, and deployment scripts β€” enabling $LONG's listing on Binance Alpha, Gate, and MEXC. - Shipped StarkNet/Cairo contracts β€” NFT factory, NFT minting, royalty receiver, referral logic, SNIP-12 hashing, and signature-based mint authorization β€” bringing Belong's NFT layer to StarkNet's execution environment. - Built TON/Threaded Solidity contracts for TIP4 NFT collections β€” factory-based deployment, permit-based static/dynamic minting, TIP3 token payment handling, native TON payments, royalty splitting, referral commissions, and wallet deployment/callback handling β€” extending Belong's reach into the TON ecosystem. - Wrote Hardhat, Foundry, StarkNet, and Locklift tests, mocks, deployment, upgrade, and verification scripts across EVM, StarkNet, and TON ecosystems β€” multi-ecosystem coverage maintained from a single contract codebase. - Contracts audited by Hacken (Q4 2024 / Q3 2025 reports) β€” published at audits.hacken.io/belong-net.
Lead Smart Contract Engineer
Swarm Markets
2022 - 2026
- Lead smart contract architecture for Swarm's EU-regulated RWA platform β€” tokenized equities, U.S. Treasury products, ETFs, gold-backed assets, OTC settlement, staking, rewards, and vault infrastructure. Shipped dOTC v2 to production β€” Swarm's open-access decentralized OTC settlement protocol with atomic escrow swaps, Chainlink price feeds, and KYC/AML-gated execution. Passed PeckShield audit; live across Swarm's target mainnets. - Architected and shipped new version of RWA with Chainlink CCIP-based cross-chain synchronization using mint-and-burn flows for metadata, approvals, and compliance-state consistency β€” one of the few production CCIP integrations for regulated RWA infrastructure. - Built and shipped Nifty Bundles β€” ERC721/ERC1155-to-ERC20 vault system enabling bundled NFT exposure and fractional ownership. Passed PeckShield audit; remediation also reviewed by Pessimistic. - Own multiple production smart contract product lines, including a single RWA product line with 40+ deployed contracts across the full feature surface (tokenization, compliance, settlement, distribution). - Maintain production deployments across 10 mainnets β€” Ethereum, Polygon, Base, BSC, Arbitrum, Optimism, Hedera, HyperEVM, Plasma, Mezo β€” with per-chain configuration, deployment scripts, and upgrade flows. - Set the team's smart contract engineering standards β€” architecture patterns, testing methodology, security review checklist, audit preparation flow, technical documentation. These are now the default baseline for new contract work and every subsequent external audit engagement. - Review contract code from a small team of engineers and define contract-side interfaces for the frontend, backend, and indexer teams β€” including event schemas, API expectations, and failure-case handling.
Smart Contract Auditor & Security Analyst
Hacken
2022 - 2024
Focused on smart contract security across DeFi, DAOs, marketplaces, and token systems. - Performed smart contract audits across tokens, staking and vesting systems, DAOs, marketplaces, upgradeable contracts, and DeFi protocols on EVM ecosystems β€” building deep familiarity with common attack surfaces and exploit patterns. - Identified vulnerabilities in access control, reward accounting, upgradeability flows, business logic, and oracle/integration patterns β€” with a focus on exploit prevention before production deployment. - Through HackenProof β€” triaged and validated incoming vulnerability reports, reproduced issues, assessed severity and impact for client-facing security workflows. - Applied secure development and gas-efficiency practices using Hardhat, Foundry, Slither, MythX, and OpenZeppelin patterns β€” toolchain that I now use on the writer side of the table at Swarm and Belong Net.
Smart Contract Engineer
Swarm Markets
2022 - 2024
Joined to build out Swarm's contract layer for the EU-regulated RWA roadmap. - Shipped Permission Manager as the foundational access-control layer for Swarm's RWA platform β€” first significant production contract I owned end-to-end, and the first mainnet deployment under my name on the protocol. Became the access-control backbone for tokenized equities, treasuries, and subsequent RWA product lines. - Designed and shipped three generations of the OTC settlement protocol β€” PermissionedDotc, OpenDotc V1, and OpenDotc V2 β€” iterating on swap mechanics, access patterns, and compliance gating across each version. OpenDotc V2 passed PeckShield audit and became the production OTC layer that ships today as dOTC v2. - Built and integrated Chainlink price feeds into Permission Manager to enforce per-user spending limits in real time β€” on-chain regulatory control that gates transactions based on USD value relative to each user's compliance tier. Became the foundation for price-dependent compliance flows across Swarm's RWA stack. - Established the team's contract testing and documentation patterns using Hardhat and Foundry β€” became the audit-readiness baseline for every later engagement (PeckShield, Pessimistic). - Owned remediation across early external audit cycles, converting audit feedback into permanent team checklist items and architectural guardrails carried forward into Lead-level work.
