I am a passionate blockchain developer and quantitative engineer with over 10 years of professional experience. Since 2020, I have been fully immersed in the Web3 landscape, focusing on the research, development, and deployment of cutting-edge DeFi, NFT, and cross-chain protocols.

My expertise spans the full spectrum of protocol engineering and blockchain product development. I have deep, hands-on experience with major ecosystems including Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Polygon, and more. I have independently designed and implemented high-performance on-chain arbitrage and liquidation bots, MEV and cross-chain trading frameworks, and advanced portfolio automation tools. My work covers integration with and optimization for leading protocols such as Uniswap, Curve, AAVE, GMX, MakerDAO, Pendle, Yearn, and other innovative DeFi primitives.

At a leading NFT marketplace company, I played a core role in building NFT trading protocols, compressed NFT (cNFT) infrastructure, NFT AMMs, programmable royalty enforcement, and high-throughput on-chain indexers. My contributions include designing smart contracts, batch trading engines, and analytics systems serving millions of users globally. I am adept at translating complex protocol logic into secure, scalable, and user-centric products.

Technically, I am proficient in Rust, Golang, Solidity, Rust Anchor, Python, TypeScript, and Node.js. My experience ranges from architecting low-latency backend systems and developing gas-efficient smart contracts, to building robust data pipelines and real-time analytics dashboards using tools like Dune Analytics and Nansen. I am well-versed in smart contract security, regularly performing audits and leveraging tools such as Slither, Mythril, and Foundry to ensure protocol safety and resilience.

Beyond technical delivery, I have led small agile teams, mentored junior engineers, and collaborated closely with product, design, and community teams. I am passionate about open-source, protocol research, and pushing the boundaries of decentralized technology through innovation, code quality, and deep data-driven insights.

What sets me apart is my ability to rapidly master new protocols, anticipate market trends, and deliver high-impact solutions in fast-moving environments. I thrive on solving complex challenges, optimizing for both security and performance, and building products that drive real value to users and the broader blockchain ecosystem.
