Software engineer building on Solana with Rust 🦀
I'm a Solana developer specializing in Rust and Anchor framework for building on-chain programs. With 3+ years of web3 development experience and a strong foundation in smart contract development, I'm now focused on building high-performance applications on Solana.
What I Do Now
I build Solana programs using Rust and Anchor, focusing on decentralized applications. My background in Developer Relations and Ethereum development gives me a comprehensive understanding of blockchain architecture, developer tooling, and what makes great web3 products.
Currently seeking Solana/Rust developer opportunities where I can build scalable on-chain programs and contribute to the Solana ecosystem.
Technical Skills
Solana Stack
Rust, Anchor Framework, Solana Program Library (SPL), Web3.js, Gill and Codama
Smart Contracts
Solidity (Ethereum), Anchor (Solana), on-chain program development
Web3 Development
TypeScript, React, Next.js, ethers.js, viem, wallet integration
Tools
Cargo, Anchor CLI, Solana CLI, Hardhat, Foundry
Background
I spent 3+ years building in web3, working at:
- Gaia - Developer Relations Engineer, building AI agent infrastructure and web3 tooling
- Consensys - DevRel for Linea and MetaMask, creating developer resources, tutorials, and full-stack web3 applications
During this time, I:
- Built production dApps and smart contracts on Ethereum
- Created extensive technical content and tutorials for web3 developers
- Worked with developer communities to improve tooling and documentation
- Contributed to Udacity's Blockchain Nanodegree and Chainlink Certification programs
Now I'm applying this experience to Solana development, where I can leverage Rust's performance and safety to build the next generation of decentralized applications.
Why Solana + Rust?
After years of building on Ethereum, I'm excited about Solana's speed, low costs, and developer focused experience. Rust's focus on safety and performance makes it the perfect language for building reliable on-chain programs.
