I'm a smart contract engineer who is heavily Ethereum aligned. I started in Crypto in 2019 while I was pursuing my bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Cybersecurity. Then I went on the graduate school to earn my masters degree in Cybersecurity focusing on blockchains and cryptocurrency. I wrote my masters thesis on countering economic attacks on DAO governance with confidential DAO-vote-bribery mechanisms. After that I worked at a startup, Revest Finance, where I was the second employee and first developer chiefly responsible for a DeFi protocol called Resonate, which offered interest rate swaps and derivatives as well as fixed rate positions on blue-chip defi protocols. After 2 years there I left and worked at Chainlink Labs on CCIP, the cross-chain interoperability protocol where I worked as a smart contract engineer as well, almost entirely in Solidity. I was responsible for maintaining the core cross-chain protocol and new integrations for tokens and chains with unique mechanisms as well as coordination of the smart contracts for user-facing tools and non-EVM networks as well. I'm looking for a new opportunity in the Web3 space focusing on Solidity and Ethereum. I have experience as well with JS, Golang, and some Rust. I am an American Citizen located in US-Central time (UCT-6) and comfortable working in an entirely remote environment.
