About

Focused on low-latency trading systems for both TradFi and DeFi. Experienced in L1/L2 engineering, zero-knowledge cryptography, and scalable Web3 infrastructure; design and build production-grade protocol components, smart contracts, rollups, state channels, and full-stack dApps with emphasis on security, performance, and usability. Technical highlights - Low-latency HFT systems to interface with CEXs and DEXs, focusing on ultra-low-latency execution, market microstructure, and cross-venue arbitrage. Languages: Rust, Python - Layer 1 / Chain Development: worked on Ethereum, Solana, Aeternity. Deep knowledge of consensus (DAG research), data availability, account abstraction, sharding. Languages: Rust, Go, C#, Solidity, Sophia. - Layer 2 / Rollups & State Channels: Implemented/researched zk-rollups, optimistic rollups, Polygon CDK, Optimism, state channels for multiplayer Web3 gaming. Built rollup tools and authored L2 whitepaper (intent-centric cross-chain design). Tech: zkEVMs, zk-SNARKs (Circom), Noir, Schnorr proofs. - Smart Contracts & On-chain Systems: Extensive Solidity and Sophia work (DeFi primitives, payment-splitting, Merkle trees, Tornado Cash integrations). ERC research: ERC-4337, ERC-6551, ERC-6150, ERC-2525, ERC-6900, AEX-141. Focus: security, gas optimization. - Cryptography & Proof Systems: Practical zk work: Circom circuits, Noir, Merkle proofs, privacy-preserving protocols; applied ZK to games and DeFi indexers. ZK architectures, prover/topology choices, recursion/batching, SNARK vs STARK. Circuit design (Circom/Noir) optimization, witness/gas reductions. zkEVM design/compatibility, state/bytecode proving. Privacy/composability, prover infrastructure/tooling, and ZK product use-cases. - Full-Stack & Infrastructure: Built high-performance backends and explorers, Next.js frontends, multi-protocol dashboards, low-latency systems in Rust, Go, TypeScript. - DeFi & Indexing: Architected Rust-based zk-rollup indexer/explorer for Uniswap v3 on Arbitrum (real-time L1 calldata parsing → L2 reconstruction); built cross-exchange arbitrage systems (Rust + Go + Next.js). AMMs, bonding curves, liquidity management, orderbook vs AMM tradeoffs, perps/margining, oracles & MEV mitigation, capital-efficient designs, tokenomics/governance, cross-chain liquidity/bridges, and DeFi indexing/analytics (TVL, slippage, MEV patterns). - Dev practices: High Frequency trading, Protocol design, architecture, product strategy, node/infrastructure marketplaces, staking/restaking, security-first smart contract development, modular extensible systems.
