I started with Solidity, Rust, smart contracts, NFTs, and Layer 2 systems. Then my focus moved toward the parts of blockchain work that show real engineering judgment: test quality, GitHub proof, protocol reasoning, gas and security trade-offs, incident thinking, wallet infrastructure, stablecoin payment workflows, blockchain forensics. I’m more interested in the gap between claiming Web3 experience, proving it clearly through readable work, technical decisions, & explanations hiring teams trust
