Looking for full-time opportunities in blockchain/Web3 projects as a software engineer. I'm inspired to contribute meaningfully to the space and confident in my ability to deliver high-impact results. I'm open-minded, well-rounded, and easy to collaborate with. My skill set spans full-stack development, blockchain engineering, smart contract security, and machine learning. Built award-winning dApps at ETHGlobal SF 2024 (ChainSage) and Shapecraft 2024 (MemeForge). Simultaneously, I've been working as a full-stack developer at Serra Labs, a Silicon Valley startup, rebuilding a core infrastructure tool and exploring AI-powered agentic APIs with LangChain, as well as tailored VM recommendations for blockchain validator nodes. In early 2025, I worked as a Web3 backend engineer at Anti Rug Agent, building APIs and fraud detection systems that parsed and analyzed data from over 1 million Solana tokens. I led efforts in performance tuning, Redis caching, and infrastructure deployment on Linux. Currently contributing to open-source Web3 projects through OnlyDust, expanding my reach in the decentralized ecosystem and engaging with globally distributed teams. From August to October 2023, I served as a blockchain engineer at Animal Farm v3 (Black Cube Finance) on BSC, reviewing and upgrading Solidity smart contracts securing over $22M in liquidity. Earlier in 2023, I completed Alchemy University's Ethereum Developer Bootcamp, gaining deep exposure to Ethereum, Solidity, EVM internals, Merkle trees, and smart contract development. In 2022, I earned an M.S. in Software Engineering from San Jose State University, strengthening my ability to quickly master new technologies. I developed large-scale systems both independently and in teams, and also explored state-of-the-art machine learning. I’ve held software engineering roles at Serra Labs and Sentient Energy, producing mission-critical tools that addressed key business needs.
