Results-driven Solidity developer with experience in writing, testing, deploying and upgrading smart contracts. A multi-disciplinary professional with about five-year hands-on experience in trading and investment in equities and cryptocurrencies.

— Key Qualifications —

• Proficient in using VS Code, Ethersjs, Javascript/Typescript (Hardhat) and Python (Brownie) to test and deploy (Solidity) smart contracts on EVM compatible blockchains and in using Nodejs/Python to programmatically interact with existing protocols such as Aave and Uniswap.
• Capable of writing smart contracts in Linux (WSL) with minimum risk of re-entrancy, with minimum risk of oracle manipulation and with optimised gas fees. Familiar with auditing tools like Slither and cross-chain tokens transfer implementation tools including Axelar and LayerZero.
• Capable of writing and upgrading (using transparent-proxy pattern) ERC20, ERC777, ERC721/ERC1155 (NFT), DEFI and other smart contracts for various applications. Able to use Openzeppelin, ethersjs and web3.py packages, to mock contracts and to fork mainnet EVM chains.
• Proficient in using Git, Remix, Postgresql, AWS (Lambda, SAM, Serverless framework), GCP, Terraform, The Graph, and Ganache. Possess deep understanding of proof-of-work (POW) and proof-of-stake (POS) blockchains. Familiar with front-end tech-stacks including Reactjs, Nextjs and Moralis (Cloud).
• Excellent understanding of data structure, algorithms and Big O notations. Able to apply these concepts to optimise gas fees in smart contract development.
• Good understanding of Ethereum, Cosmos, Polkadot, Cardano, Binance Smart Chain, Avalanche and other Layer 1’s basic technologies and ecosystem. Vast experience in DEFI – staking, yield farming – on decentralised DEFI platforms and studying trends such as NFT, Metaverse and Play-to-Earn crypto projects.
• Excellent in interpersonal communication, building robust and long-term relationships, resolving complex problems, improving processes, and completing projects within a given timeline.

I have two years experience in solidity smart contract development. I have written, deployed and tested many smart contracts on EVM-compatible chains. Some of the projects I developed include NFT marketplace (ERC-721/1155), DEFI staking (ERC-20), NFT staking, Lottery and DAO (ERC-777)

I have two master's degrees in the field of engineering.
