Available to hire
I am Nicholas Pinter, a senior software engineer specializing in blockchain systems across Layer 1 and Layer 2. With 7+ years of hands-on development, I design smart contract architectures, zkRollup infrastructure, and cross-chain interoperability, delivering production-ready DeFi, identity, staking, and DAO tooling.
I thrive on building scalable, decentralized infrastructure and developer-friendly SDKs. My work spans integrating zk-KYC identity, GSN meta-transactions, and bridge protocols like LayerZero, Axelar, and Hyperlane, while optimizing gas efficiency and upgradeable security patterns for real-world adoption.
