About

Professional summary

I am a smart contract developer and DeFi security researcher focused on building and testing secure EVM-based protocols with Solidity and Foundry.

I have hands-on project experience with lending and borrowing systems, automated market makers, collateral-backed stablecoins, cross-chain bridges, staking, vesting, governance, token streaming, and NFT marketplace mechanics.

My security focus includes protocol accounting, liquidation logic, access control, oracle validation, reentrancy analysis, rounding risks, and precision issues. I use evidence-based testing to investigate potential vulnerabilities and validate exploit hypotheses.

I am experienced with unit, fuzz, invariant, and integration testing in Foundry. I also work with ERC token standards, OpenZeppelin patterns, Chainlink data feeds, and Git-based workflows.

I am seeking an opportunity to contribute to secure and reliable DeFi infrastructure while continuing to deepen my production smart contract engineering and security research experience.

Career history

Smart Contract Developer and DeFi Security Researcher Independent Projects

Built practice EVM-based DeFi protocols using Solidity and Foundry, including collateralized lending and borrowing, an AMM pool, a collateral-backed stablecoin, and a cross-chain bridge.

Implemented and reviewed collateral factors, health-factor logic, liquidations, reserve-based pricing, liquidity accounting, minting and burning flows, authorization, message validation, and replay-handling considerations.

Used unit, fuzz, invariant-style, and integration tests to validate expected behavior, access controls, accounting relationships, state transitions, and selected adversarial scenarios.

Solidity Developer Independent Projects

Implemented Solidity practice contracts for ERC-20 and ERC-721 tokens, staking, vesting, multisig wallets, timelocks, DAO governance, NFT marketplace mechanics, token streaming, proxy patterns, and oracle integrations.

Applied OpenZeppelin patterns, Chainlink data feeds, and Foundry testing workflows to exercise contract behavior and investigate edge cases.

DeFi Security Researcher Independent Research

Analyzed DeFi challenge contracts and protocol logic to develop exploit hypotheses and validate findings through tests.

Practiced tracing external calls, state transitions, protocol accounting, oracle assumptions, and access-control boundaries. Worked toward producing vulnerability reports covering root cause, impact, proof of concept, and remediation.
