01 / SYSTEMS

Surfaces where I create leverage.

A fast scan of the technical domains I can own end-to-end.

[01]

Perps infrastructure

CLOB, AMM, Clearing House, funding, margin, settlement, and liquidation flows.

[02]

Smart contracts

Upgradeable Solidity systems, protocol modules, access control, and storage-aware architecture.

[03]

Risk engines

Position accounting, oracle-driven checks, liquidation eligibility, and invariant thinking.

[04]

Protocol agents

Autonomous agents for liquidation, take-profit/stop-loss, monitoring, and job execution.

[05]

Cross-chain infra

Bridge aggregation, SDK/API surfaces, event indexing, and chain abstraction.

[06]

Account abstraction

ERC-4337, bundler infra, EVM networks, and institutional blockchain environments.

[07]

Indexers

Real-time blockchain event pipelines for analytics, trading metrics, and protocol stats.

[08]

Security workflows

Automated review loops, static analysis, audit prep, and exploit-pattern learning.

02 / FEATURED WORK

Protocol work presented as systems, not resume bullets.

Each project is framed around the protocol surface, engineering complexity, and security context — not just job history.

Protocol Engineer · Perpetual derivatives

2025 — Present

Architected an on-chain CLOB + AMM matching engine for perpetuals on yield-bearing assets. Built core Solidity surfaces for orderbook matching, Clearing House settlement, risk engine, liquidation flow, oracle integrations, and AI-native liquidation / TP-SL execution.

Novastro

Protocol Engineer

2024 — 2025

Built RWA tokenization using ERC-3643, prediction market contracts, cross-protocol yield strategies, bridge aggregation across 15+ bridges, SDK/API surfaces, Aptos Move DEX work, Solana launchpad work, and real-time event indexing.

Blockchain Engineer

2021 — 2022

Led Solidity development for options trading, staking, liquidity provisioning, gasless transactions, and automation frameworks using OpenZeppelin Defender, Biconomy, Chainlink Keepers, and Gelato.

03 / AGENTS

Autonomous agents as protocol infrastructure.

This is separate from the core portfolio content: a dedicated section for the 24/7 agentic audit system, protocol jobs, and AI-native execution layer.

01Self-Evolving Audit Hunter
Autonomous audit agents that hunt active contests, audit Solidity repos, report findings, and learn from disclosed exploit patterns over time.

02Liquidation / TP-SL agents
AI-native CLI flow for autonomous agents to execute protocol jobs against live positions.

03On-chain agent marketplace
Agents register for protocol jobs, complete them, submit proof-of-completion, and claim incentives.

04 / SECURITY POSTURE

Security first.

My protocol work starts with what can break: accounting invariants, oracle failure modes, liquidation edge cases, permission boundaries, upgrade paths, and how an attacker would chain them.

✓Worked with Quantstamp and Zellic on external audits for Nunchi contracts.

✓Use Slither and Trail of Bits tooling as part of development and review workflows.

✓Built internal Claude Code skills for smart contract audit and developer workflow acceleration.

✓Focused on liquidation safety, oracle correctness, accounting invariants, and upgrade risk.
