Experience

Senior Blockchain Engineer | Solidity Developer
Lumos
2025 - 2026
Specialized blockchain engineer architecting production-ready smart contract systems across DeFi, DAO governance, NFT platforms, and privacy-preserving protocols. Expert in building secure, upgradeable contracts with advanced cryptographic patterns and gas optimization. Led development of complex DeFi infrastructure including automated market makers with liquidity pools, multi-tier staking platforms with APR-based rewards, and token sale contracts supporting multiple stablecoins. Architected payment systems handling on-chain deposits, withdrawals, and internal accounting. Pioneered privacy-preserving DeFi protocols using zkSNARKs with Merkle tree-based commitments and zero-knowledge proof verification. Developed private transaction flows for deposits, withdrawals, swaps, and liquidity operations with ECDSA signature verification within ZK circuits using Noir and Barretenberg. Designed DAO governance frameworks with token-weighted voting, proposal management, and timelock integration. Built token vesting systems managing multiple categories with flexible schedules. Implemented governance tokens with ERC20Votes, delegation, and EIP-2612 permit functionality. Collaborated closely with frontend and backend teams to integrate smart contract execution, proof generation workflows, and off-chain signature verification. Built NFT platforms with Merkle whitelist verification and blockchain gaming contracts with cryptographic commitments. Implemented comprehensive security measures including reentrancy guards, role-based access control, and EIP-712 signatures. Authored test suites achieving 95%+ coverage.
Middle Blockchain Developer
Applicature
2023 - 2025
In this role, I took ownership of developing, deploying, and optimizing smart contracts across EVM-compatible blockchains including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, and Polygon. I worked on the smart contract side of several projects and implemented advanced contract patterns such as proxies (ERC-1967), and multisig wallets. I also began integrating security auditing principles into development workflows. Key Highlights: β€’ Designed and implemented complex smart contract systems. β€’ Experience with advanced Solidity patterns and upgradeability mechanisms. β€’ Conducted gas usage optimization, code refactoring, and vulnerability prevention. β€’ Collaborated across team to deliver production-ready blockchain features. β€’ Participated 5+ blockchain projects.
Security Smart Contract Auditor
Vidma
2022 - 2025
As a smart contract auditor, I am responsible for in-depth security analysis, functional verification, and code optimization for Solidity smart contracts. I identify vulnerabilities such as reentrancy, and access control flaws, while also providing guidance on improving gas efficiency and code quality. I use a combination of manual review, testing and automated tools, and have contributed to over 30 smart contract audits across various projects. Key Highlights: β€’ Performed manual and automated audits of 30+ smart contracts. β€’ Identified and mitigated critical vulnerabilities across diverse contract types. β€’ Wrote and maintained comprehensive unit test suites using HardHat. β€’ Generated detailed audit reports and offered actionable feedback to developers. β€’ Specialized in best practice enforcement.
