Lead Web3 Developer
Arbitrex
2020 - 2024
As the Lead Web3 Developer at Arbitrex, I spearhead the design, development, and deployment of decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts on the Ethereum and Arbitrum networks. My role involves working closely with a team of blockchain developers, product managers, and stakeholders to build innovative solutions in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. Key Responsibilities: • Smart Contract Development: Architected and implemented complex smart contracts using Solidity, focusing on security, efficiency, and scalability. These contracts underpin various DeFi products, including staking mechanisms, yield farming platforms, and decentralized exchanges (DEXs) • Integration with Layer 2 Solutions: Led the integration of Layer 2 scaling solutions, particularly Arbitrum, to enhance transaction throughput and reduce gas fees. This involved close collaboration with the core protocol teams to ensure seamless interoperability with Ethereum’s mainnet. • dApp Development: Developed user-facing decentralized applications using React, Web3.js, and Ethers.js, ensuring a seamless user experience while interacting with the blockchain. These applications are used by thousands of users for managing digital assets, participating in governance, and interacting with DeFi protocols. • Security Audits: Conducted and oversaw internal smart contract audits and worked with external auditors to ensure the security of all deployed contracts. I implemented best practices for secure contract development, significantly reducing the risk of exploits. • Team Leadership: Managed and mentored a team of 10+ blockchain developers, providing technical guidance and fostering a culture of innovation. I was responsible for setting development standards, conducting code reviews, and ensuring the team met project deadlines. • Collaboration with Partners: Worked closely with partners and third-party services to integrate additional functionalities into Arbitrex's ecosystem, such as oracle services, token bridges, and cross-chain swaps. • Research and Innovation: Continuously researched emerging technologies in the blockchain space, including zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and proposed potential applications for Arbitrex. Achievements: • Deployed Multiple High-Value Smart Contracts: Successfully deployed and managed smart contracts that handle over $50 million in total value locked (TVL) across various DeFi platforms. • Reduced Gas Costs by 40%: Through Layer 2 integration and optimization of smart contract code, reduced average transaction gas costs by 40%, significantly improving user experience. • Security First Approach: Implemented a robust testing and auditing process that led to zero security breaches in over three years of continuous development. • Expanded User Base: Contributed to the growth of Arbitrex's user base by 200% through the development of user-friendly interfaces and the deployment of highly efficient smart contracts.
