SUMMARY

Senior Blockchain & Full Stack Engineer with 12+ years of software development experience (8+ years of Web3, DeFi, NFT, and tokenized systems). Since 2016, I have been working as an independent contractor and startup consultant, partnering with early-stage teams. This gave me the opportunity to deliver end-to-end products (smart contracts, open source forks, backend APIs, frontend dApps, DevOps) for multiple startups, often as the first or core engineer driving product launches. Proven track record of raising $15M+ for clients through token sales and NFT projects, and delivering audit-ready smart contracts and scalable platforms. Thrives in startup environments, wearing multiple hats and aligning technical execution with business growth. My key strength is system-level thinking — the ability to design project architecture from the ground up, aligning technical execution with business growth. Broad expertise across adjacent fields and high adaptability allow me to quickly dive into any project and create effective solutions. Active open-source contributor with GitHub repositories recognized by stars and published packages on NPM. Additionally, I have published iOS and Android applications for blockchain and Web3 projects, gaining hands-on experience in delivering production-ready mobile solutions. Currently expanding into AI & AI agents, exploring practical applications of ML and automation in Web3 and software ecosystems. Open to relocation or remote-first roles. Authorized to work in the UAE. Available to engage as an independent contractor via US-registered LLC (single-owner), ensuring simple and compliant contracting for US-based companies.
