Software Engineer β’ Web3 Security Engineer
I build secure distributed systems, Ethereum infrastructure, and MEV research tooling.
My work spans blockchain security, DeFi, MEV engineering, and large-scale automation across Polygon, the CUNY Research Foundation, and Avanade (Accenture + Microsoft).
- Ethereum client operations (execution + consensus, archival, observability)
- MEV research: mempool analytics, fork simulations, latency profiling, Flashbots bundles
- Smart contract security: fuzzing, invariants, reentrancy analysis, upgradability patterns
- Enterprise security automation: PowerShell/Python pipelines, AD/Entra transformations, CI/CD
- Data & infra engineering: reliability, telemetry, distributed systems, cloud operations
- Lead workshops on smart-contract security, audit methodology, and exploit patterns
- Build MEV research bots for bundle simulation, strategy evaluation, and network-latency benchmarking
- Operate and maintain Ethereum archival nodes with full lifecycle management (upgrades, pruning, monitoring)
- Contribute to DAO/governance discussions (e.g., Origin Dollar)
- Develop Python/JS automation for identity operations, compliance, and telemetry ingestion
- Automate AD/Entra ID migrations and remediation workflows (65,000+ directory objects processed)
- Build PowerShell and CI/CD pipelines to strengthen incident response and auditability
- Drive reliability engineering efforts across Windows/Linux and cloud environments
- Build data automation for staffing and capacity forecasting, reducing operational bench by ~25%
Languages: Python, C++17, TypeScript/JavaScript, Solidity, SQL
