I am a software engineer with 6 years of experience building blockchain infrastructure and DeFi solutions. I specialize in performant backend systems, cross-chain protocols, and data pipelines that process high-volume transactions at scale. I thrive in DeFi infrastructure engineering, from research and prototyping to production-grade cloud deployments.
