Senior Protocol Engineer
Senior engineer focused on Solidity, protocol architecture, security, and production delivery across DeFi and related EVM infrastructure.
About
Building at the intersection of security & scale
I work on Solidity and EVM smart contract systems where mistakes are expensive and reliability matters.
My background spans DeFi, staking, cross-chain infrastructure, RWA, tokenization, oracles, and protocol design. Since 2018, I have delivered hundreds of production-ready smart contracts and supported systems through protocol architecture, implementation, audit preparation, and mainnet launch.
Known for security-first execution, protocol-level thinking, and reliable delivery in remote, high-ownership environments.
