Led development of Dfyn V2 Concentrated Liquidity AMM with on-chain limit orders. Designed and implemented yield farming, staking, vesting and vault smart contracts. Built BYOF (Build Your Own Farm) platform enabling automated yield farm deployment and management through configurable farm contracts. Worked on StakeEase, a liquid restaking protocol built on EigenLayer, contributing to staking and yield infrastructure. Led security audits, vulnerability fixes, and contract hardening processes. Mentored engineers on smart contract design, testing, and security best practices. Contributed to protocol scaling handling millions in liquidity and high transaction volume.

Built and maintained Router Protocol cross-chain infrastructure enabling asset transfers, swaps, and interoperability across EVM ecosystems, contributing to bridging, cross-chain messaging, and chain abstraction systems. Developed and maintained bridge smart contracts powering cross-chain asset movement and execution workflows. Built message intent systems for cross-chain communication and execution across networks. Developed and integrated adapter contracts for third-party protocols, enabling external bridges, DEXs, and execution systems to interact with Router infrastructure. Optimized smart contracts for gas efficiency, scalability, and secure cross-chain operations. Led security audits, vulnerability remediation, and contract hardening processes.

Contributed to development of a blockchain-based philanthropic e-commerce platform, participating in architecture design and blockchain platform selection. Developed and deployed smart contracts using Solidity and Truffle. Built and tested smart contracts using Mocha & Chai frameworks. Developed backend services using Node.js, Express, and MongoDB.
