Work Experience

Smart Contract Auditor at ImmuneFi
September 1, 2024 - November 6, 2025
Security reviewer of smart contracts for Ethereum- and Solana-based DeFi projects. Found two medium-impact vulnerabilities in an Ethereum DeFi project and one low-impact and one high-impact vulnerability in a Solana-based DeFi project. Analyzed the source code of five DeFi projects across Ethereum, BSC, and Solana, and reviewed over 100 bug reports to identify common bugs and remediation patterns. Technologies involved included Solidity and Rust.
