Smart Contract Engineer | De Fi

I'm Caleb, a smart contract developer based in Nairobi, specializing in DeFi protocol engineering. I build production-grade on-chain infrastructure with Solidity, backed by a full-stack background in TypeScript, Node.js, and Rust.

My work lives at the core of decentralized finance. I architected Korvbox, a protocol that abstracts Morpho Blue complexity to simplify USDC deposits and vault interactions, and I'm currently building Liidia, a pooled liquidation protocol layered on Aave V3 with a custom liquidation engine powered by Chainlink CRE. I've also shipped FVP, a digital asset financial management tool, and Rare24, an NFT drop platform with time-gated minting mechanics.

Beyond protocol work, I'm exploring the intersection of DeFi and autonomous agents, building tooling that makes on-chain systems more programmable and accessible. That's the driving force behind CodeV, an agentic dev environment I'm building first for web3 developers.

I'm actively looking for a smart contract engineering role in DeFi, whether that's protocol design, liquidity mechanics, integration work across stacks like Aave, Morpho, and Chainlink, or pushing the frontier of on-chain automation.
