Smart Contract Engineer
📍 Charlotte, NC
Smart Contract Engineer with 5+ years shipping production Solidity protocols on mainnet. Deep expertise in ERC-4626 vault architecture, lending market design, DeFi yield strategies, RWA tokenization, and AMM mechanics. Shipped institutional-grade yield-bearing vaults, scaled a DeFi platform to $1.2M TVL, and improved AMM fee capture by 25% via Uniswap V4 Hooks. Security-first mindset with 100% Foundry coverage and zero critical vulnerabilities.
Gala Games
Sept 2025 — Present
Research and design new protocol mechanisms for cross-chain digital asset infrastructure. Lead protocol design decisions balancing trust assumptions between permissioned (Hyperledger Fabric) and permissionless (Ethereum) environments. Implement production Solidity smart contracts for token lifecycle management including vault-style deposit/withdrawal mechanics, collateral tracking, and automated settlement. Lead cross-chain bridge architecture decisions evaluating cryptographic verification tradeoffs and capital efficiency.
Colb Finance
Dec 2024 — Aug 2025
Researched, designed, and implemented a production ERC-4626 yield-bearing lending vault with oracle-driven interest rate mechanics, collateralization management, automated liquidation thresholds, and Chainlink price feed integration. Reconciled ERC-4626 open vault mechanics with ERC-1400 compliance-constrained transfers via custom middleware. Achieved 100% Foundry test coverage with zero critical vulnerabilities through mainnet deployment. Reduced on-chain execution costs by 40% through Yul assembly, storage packing, and calldata encoding.
Uniswap Hook Incubator, Atrium Foundation
Nov 2024 — Jan 2025
Designed and implemented novel AMM fee capture mechanisms via Uniswap V4 Hooks improving capital efficiency by 25%. Built comprehensive invariant testing suites with 10,000+ Foundry fuzz iterations validating pool state consistency and fee accounting. Led trade-off analysis on hook design patterns for optimal mainnet deployment architecture.
Reno Plas Pvt Ltd
Jun 2019 — Dec 2022
Built and scaled a production DeFi platform to $1.2M TVL on mainnet, shipping Solidity protocols for vault-based token management, lending primitives, liquidity provisioning, staking, and automated yield distribution across Ethereum and Polygon. Designed cross-chain bridge protocols with Merkle proof validation and nonce-based replay protection. Implemented AMM integration, aggregator-compatible settlement flows, and cross-chain asset routing. Maintained zero security incidents over 3+ years of production operation.
