I started my blockchain journey with smart contracts, Solidity, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Web3 integrations. Over time, I expanded into full-stack Web3 development, audit workflows, Cairo/StarkNet, stablecoin payments, developer tooling, and remote blockchain teams. Earlier, I explored quantum blockchain research and the Willow Chip. Now, I focuse on AI agents, privacy/ZK, wallet infrastructure, identity, payments, compliance workflows, and building proof of work for blockchain engineering role
