Smart Contract Developer
My journey in blockchain began in 2018, at a time when Solidity was still at version 0.4.20. My master's thesis in computer science focused on integrating real estate with blockchain, which introduced me to the transformative potential of decentralized technologies.
To deepen my understanding, I extensively studied blockchain architectures, analyzing virtual machines such as EVM, SSVM and TVM, and to explore their execution models, gas optimizations, and state transitions. Books like Mastering Blockchain, Bitcoin, and Ethereum played a key role in shaping my foundational knowledge, driving my strong interest in cryptographic primitives and zero-knowledge proofs , including zk-SNARKs, zk-STARKs.
Over the past six years, I have had the privilege of contributing to and successfully launching three blockchain platforms, gaining valuable experience in smart contracts, decentralized systems, and tokenomics. Yet, I still see myself as a researcher in this ever-evolving field—constantly learning, refining my expertise, and actively seeking new challenges to push the boundaries of innovation.
