Software Engineer / Security Researcher
Timisoara, Romania
With 8 years of experience in software engineering and 1.5 years specializing in Web3 security, I bring strong abilities in designing, building, and maintaining projects, with a particular emphasis on DeFi security. I've worked across the entire project lifecycle, leading multiple Android security-focused initiatives from initial concept through to production-grade implementation. I've also developed tailored business logic solutions for lithography, merchandising, and logistics applications. Currently, I focus on security research, actively participating in audit competitions, bug bounty programs, and private audits - primarily targeting the EVM and Stacks ecosystems, with additional experience in Solana.
