Hello, I’m Neo Pholushe, a blockchain engineer specializing in high-performance Solana arbitrage bots using Rust and Go. I design and optimize cross-protocol trading strategies, integrating with 20+ AMMs and adapting to liquidity aggregators like Jupiter to maximize profitability.
I have hands-on experience building Drift Protocol CEX trading bots, translating TypeScript SDKs into Golang, and developing Trigger and Order Matching bots. I also work with Solana, Anchor, and on-chain/off-chain interactions, deploy P2E game mechanics, and implement CI/CD pipelines to support latency-sensitive trading operations.
