I’m a protocol and infrastructure engineer with ~5 years of experience building systems across Starknet, EVM, and emerging ZK ecosystems. Most recently at Nethermind, I worked on ZK integrations, cross-chain infrastructure, and developer tooling, including implementing a Groth16 verifier in Cairo, building a ZK coprocessor for L1→L2 proofs, and contributing to Starknet tooling such as contract verification and multichain dev environments.

Beyond my professional work, I actively build in the ecosystem, including Horizon (a Pendle-style yield protocol on Starknet), Cairo libraries, and developer tooling for Aztec and agent-based workflows. I’m particularly interested in improving developer experience and enabling more complex on-chain systems through better infra and primitives.

I’m applying to Starknet Foundation because I want to continue contributing at the ecosystem level, working on problems that expand what can be built on Starknet—especially in ZK, cross-chain, and developer tooling.
