Blockchain Engineer

Hi, my name is Hau. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s degree at Cornell Tech and I’m graduating in May 2024. I have been in the web3 space for nearly two years, and it's been a lot of fun since I started building. I've worked on a few NFT and DAO projects, and last summer, I had this great opportunity to intern at Solana Labs. While there, I built a tool that enables users to manage their DAOs with compressed NFTs.

After that, I went back to working in EVM and participated in several hackathons in the past three months. Other than that, I joined a lab at Cornell Tech where I contributed to research on building proof for off-chain data using Merkle trees and zk-SNARK.

And now, I'm working part-time as a blockchain developer at a startup, focusing on developing tokenization solutions for real-world assets, primarily in the luxury industry.

I am proficient in TypeScript, JavaScript, Solidity, Rust, and other blockchain-related technologies.
