Solana Developer

I'm a PhD candidate focusing on blockchain protocols and smart contracts, with strong interest in decentralized infrastructure and the economics of digital assets. My research explores the performance, scalability, and governance of blockchain systems, with emphasis on cross-chain comparisons. I've authored two academic papers: a review on blockchain in the energy sector and a comparative study of REC trading on Ethereum and Solana.

 Alongside my research, I’ve developed decentralized applications on both Ethereum and Solana, implementing smart contracts in Solidity and Rust. These applications serve as experimental platforms for evaluating protocol performance, cost, and scalability, using benchmarking tools I designed specifically for this purpose. I am also building a simulator to analyze consensus dynamics in Solana, particularly focusing on Tower BFT, slashing mechanisms, and stake-weighted voting. In parallel, I am pursuing a conceptual contribution to blockchain governance through the development of a new consensus model, which draws from my broader philosophical work on trust, power, and legitimacy in decentralized systems. This interdisciplinary approach—bridging technical implementation with ethical theory—guides my ongoing exploration of blockchain as both a computational and sociopolitical innovation. 

I'm looking for research-oriented roles in blockchain, particularly in protocol R&D, validator economics, or execution-layer innovations. I value teams that combine theoretical insight with hands-on experimentation.
