I've also built self-hosted AI agent platforms for clients and SD-WAN tooling for MikroTik routers. Smart contracts & Web3 - Lead smart contract engineer on BankX, a stablecoin protocol I've worked on since 2021, now live on 8 EVM chains (Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum and others). Audited by CoinFabrik and covered by an Immunefi bug bounty (outside researchers are paid to report bugs); I reproduce their reports as Foundry tests before deciding what to fix. - Solidity, Hardhat, Foundry, OpenZeppelin, Chainlink. Also Rust on Stellar Soroban, with merged PRs to OpenZeppelin and Nethermind. AI-assisted & full-stack development - Built self-hosted Claude Code agent servers for a client.
