Hi, I’m Armando Comellas. I’m a Senior Smart Contract Engineer focused on building scalable yield-generation protocols and secure governance for decentralized finance. I design modular tokenization systems, implement robust liquidation and upgrade paths, and integrate with major DeFi platforms using Solidity, Rust, and modern tooling like Foundry and Hardhat. I also bring frontend experience with React, TypeScript, Next.js, and Vue.js to deliver user-friendly Web3 apps. I thrive in cross-functional, Agile teams, mentor teammates, and write maintainable code that scales. I’m passionate about blockchain innovation and contributing to high-performance ecosystems, from on-chain contracts to cloud infrastructure and automated testing.
