Experienced developer with a focus on leading technologies, including Ethereum Virtual Machine, Solana, Aptos, and Sui. My passion for technology started in my youth, and I have actively contributed to the development of various decentralized applications (DApps), such as NFTs, DeFi platforms, and Play-to-Earn (P2E) games.
Currently, I am leading innovation in trading bot development, with expertise in areas like copy-trading, volume-bots, bundler-bots, and arbitrage-bot solutions. I am also deeply engaged in pioneering projects at the intersection of AI and blockchain, particularly in creating AI agents for meme coin launches.
With solid business communication skills in English, I have accumulated substantial experience in remote working environments, enabling effective collaboration and project management across diverse teams.
