Specializing in Protocol Resilience, Invariant Formalization, and High-Assurance Smart Contracts
Focusing on Soroban (Rust), EVM (Solidity), and Zero-Knowledge Payroll & Lending Primitives.
I am a security-focused blockchain protocol engineer dedicated to fortifying decentralized infrastructure. My work centers on auditing, hardening, and building mission-critical on-chain systems—preventing value extraction, eliminating reentrancy attack vectors, and ensuring strict state machine determinism.
- 🔭 Active Research: Soroban smart contract security primitives, formal invariant modeling, and zero-knowledge verification pipelines.
- ⚡ Core Philosophy: Zero assumptions, defense-in-depth, explicit state transitions, and rigorous automated validation.
- 🤝 Collaboration: Actively contributing security patches, protocol optimizations, and architectural refactors to leading open-source Web3 ecosystems.

- 🔒 DeFi Security & Vulnerability Remediation: Reentrancy protection guards, emergency circuit breaker architectures, access-control (RBAC) hierarchies, and oracle manipulation mitigation.
- ⚡ Soroban & Stellar Protocol Development: Modular flash loan primitives, atomic cross-chain swaps, dynamic liquidation curves based on market volatility, and custom Soroban SDK components.
- 🔐 Zero-Knowledge Architectures: ZK-SNARK verifier integration, confidential state verification, and tamper-proof payroll compensation policies.
- 🏗️ Systems Reliability: Deterministic contract state recovery, RFC 7807 Problem Details error boundary propagation, and strict CI/CD security harnesses.
| Protocol / Project | Focus Area | Impact & Solution Delivered |
|---|---|---|
| Smartdevs17 / StellarLend | DeFi Lending & Liquidity | Implemented protocol-wide reentrancy protection, decoupled flash loan primitives, dynamic volatility-based liquidation bonuses, and admin transfer privilege safeguards. |
| degenspot / BACKit-onStellar | Perpetuals & Derivatives | Engineered granular circuit-breaker pause mechanics and governance RBAC controls for emergency protocol interventions. |
| zkpayroll / zk-payroll-suite | Privacy & ZK Payroll | Architected role handoff state validations, compensation policy effective-date enforcement, and automated correction request expiration handling. |
| safetrustcr / dApp-SafeTrust | API & Settlement Security | Enforced RFC 7807 structured Problem Details error boundaries to prevent silent state corruption in transaction routing. |
