Blockchain Engineer and Developer Advocate with 5+ years of experience building production-grade Web3 systems and enabling developers to succeed on complex blockchain infrastructure. I specialize in bridging deep protocol engineering and the global developer ecosystem through clear technical communication, high-quality developer tooling, and hands-on education. Smart Contracts & DeFi: Skilled in Solidity, Rust and Move, with expertise in designing, deploying, and securing gas-optimized smart contracts across EVM chains, Sui, Aptos, Stellar, Solana, Hedera, etc. Backend & Infrastructure: Proficient in Node.js/ TypeScript, API design, and scalable backend systems integrated seamlessly with smart contracts and decentralized storage (IPFS, Arweave). Web3 Integrations: Experienced with ethers.js, Web3.js, Viem, Wagmi, Rainbowkit, Alchemy, and thirdweb for wallet connections, escrow flows, NFT minting, Dex and dApp interactions. Security & Testing: Strong focus on smart contract auditing, vulnerability mitigation, and automated testing with frameworks like Foundry, Hardhat and Truffle. Developer Experience & Evangelism: Proven ability to create high-impact documentation, tutorials, code examples, and technical content; confident public speaker and workshop facilitator. Strong at mentoring and answering technical questions in public forums.
Selora (Fluent Network)
Remote
•Developed and integrated the frontend for Selora, a ve(3,3) AMM and central trading/ liquidity marketplace on the Fluent Network. •Implemented wallet connectivity using RainbowKit, enabling multi-wallet support and mobile responsiveness. •Leveraged Wagmi to manage smart contract interactions, ensuring seamless user experience across DeFi features. •Contributed to a sustainable liquidity and governance system aligned with the ve(3,3) tokenomics model.
Chain Bills
Remote
Performed a comprehensive audit of the EVM (Solidity) contracts that power Chainbillsʼ cross-chain payment gateway, focusing on payable creation, withdrawals, fee logic, and proxy upgrade patterns. Identified security gaps in cross-chain messaging, token transfer safety, and upgradeability, including reliance on transferFrom instead of safer patterns, missing input checks, and potential bypasses in payable validation. Recommended mitigations such as adopting safeTransferFrom/ safeERC20, enforcing stricter access control, validating cross-chain data integrity, and strengthening upgrade proxy restrictions to prevent misconfiguration or malicious upgrades. Assessed edge cases like zero-amount payables, unsupported tokens, and withdrawal fee enforcement; proposed fuzzing and unit test scenarios to catch these cases automatically. Delivered clear documentation of findings and fixes that improved the protocolʼs resilience against reentrancy, logic bypasses, and token mismanagement.
