Web3 Talent

Senior Protocol Engineer with 5+ years of hands-on experience designing and implementing performance-critical Layer-1 blockchain protocols in Rust. Founder and Lead Architect of DAGIUM — a production-grade DAG-based blockchain engineered from first principles, featuring deterministic Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus, parallel execution paths, asynchronous validator networking, and rigorous adversarial benchmarking frameworks. Deep expertise in protocol-level performance optimization, throughput maximization, latency reduction, distributed systems, and worst-case adversarial edge-case analysis. Actively specializing in the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), Sealevel parallel execution model, validator runtime architecture, and SVMspecific performance optimization — directly applicable to leading next-generation SVM-on-Ethereum execution environments. Proven ability to drive protocol engineering initiatives end-to-end: from research and architecture through implementation, benchmarking, and long-term protocol evolution.
