About me

I enjoy performing audits on smart contracts, where I leverage my knowledge in web3 and try to make this amazing space safer. I also spend time researching on Miner Extractable Value, where I try to identify and mitigate what harmful MEV extraction can do to various protocols. This allows me to understand the logic of protocols and propose enhancements to their architecture with the aim of keeping them safe and decentralized.

I am active on Code4rena, Sherlock, and Immunefi where I do regular audits. You can reach out to me via E-mail, if you want to hire me for a solo audit, or just like to chat about possibilities and web3.
