Lead Protocol And Infrastructure Enginner

Protocol engineer with 6+ years in blockchain infrastructure and 4+ years specializing in ZK systems at the intersection
of EVM execution and trustless settlement. Began building multi-chain node infrastructure in 2019 before moving into
deep cryptographic protocol work by reducing on-chain verification costs by 40% through batch circuit optimization and expanding provable EVM transaction coverage to 95%+ of mainnet operations. Deep expertise in zk-SNARK prover
design (Groth16, Halo2), zkEVM opcode-level proving, and high-throughput rollup sequencer architecture. Currently
researching decentralized sequencer sets with MEV-fair ordering and atomic cross-rollup composability.

Experience

Lead Blockchain Developer
Retcons Technology
2019 - 2022
Implemented on-chain ZK proof verification modules across multiple EVM-compatible chains, enabling trustless validation of off-chain computations without revealing underlying witness data. Integrated ZK verifier contracts into production DApp backends, reducing trust assumptions in multi-party workflows and laying the groundwork for later deep prover engineering work. Designed and maintained blockchain node infrastructure across multiple chains (Ethereum, BSC, Polygon), ensuring high-availability RPC endpoints and consistent chain synchronization for production applications. Built and operated validator and full-node setups, managing peer discovery, network configuration, and node upgrade cycles across heterogeneous blockchain environments. Developed chain monitoring and alerting systems to track node health, block lag, and network forks — reducing incident response time by ∼40%.
