Rust Developer

Blockchain & Mev Engineer (Substrate / Polkadot / Rust)

I am a Blockchain & MEV Engineer with 6 years of software development experience, combining an enterprise background (Java, Spring Boot, Vaadin) with a strong focus on Polkadot and Substrate.

Graduate of the Polkadot Blockchain Academy (Hong Kong, 2024), I have been developing projects in the MEV and DeFi space, including an arbitrage simulator, a DeFi indexer with Subsquid, and a cross-chain arbitrage bot (Rust, Solidity, XCM).

Currently, I am looking for freelance/contract opportunities (max 15h/week, remote) to contribute to Substrate development and MEV-related projects, while further expanding my expertise in cross-chain arbitrage and blockchain economics.
I bring reliability, strong analytical skills, and a passion for turning research into practical tools for decentralized ecosystems.

Open to short-term collaborations, consulting, and freelance projects in the Polkadot ecosystem and MEV research
