Blockchain DevOps engineer in India focused on smart contract development, DeFi infrastructure, Layer 1 protocol support, and remote Web3 engineering roles. I share practical views on blockchain developer interviews, smart contract security, Rust and protocol engineering jobs, relocation decisions, and proof-based hiring signals that help technical candidates show ownership beyond code.
