Greetings! I'm Ant. Being in one of the most exciting industries, I believe there is never a lack of topics that we can discuss about Crypto, whether it's regarding the future of Blockchain, DeFi, Privacy etc.
But first let me talk a little bit about my expertise.
Currently as a Smart Contract Lead in Memeland, I lead a team of 2 blockchain engineers on building the entire smart contract architecture. I also excel in protocol design as I keep abreast of new trends and technologies in blockchain, DeFi, and crypto-economics. Throughout my career, I have shipped dozens of secure and gas-efficient smart contracts from concept to production securing >$100M USD in TVL.
Outside of work I enjoy contributing to the DeFi ecosystem as I have worked as a developer ambassador for Uniswap Foundation to provide technical guidance to users regarding Uniswap technologies especially v4 which I also help co-author on the technical documentation.
Last but not least I am equipped with a deep understanding on aspects like low-level EVM, smart contract security & audit, Blockchain architecture and EIPs.
So if you are looking for a dev who actually ships, and takes ownership on what he is building but at the same time with a founder mindset, contact me here.
