Web3 security researcher with an EVM audit background, currently expanding into Solana security, developer tooling, and open-source security engineering.
I focus on practical vulnerability analysis: proving whether an issue is exploitable, writing runnable PoCs, and separating technically valid bugs from findings that are not submit-worthy because of scope, impact, privilege assumptions, or disclosure rules.
- Smart contract security review for EVM protocols
- Solana and Anchor program security
- Static analysis and security tooling
- PoC-backed vulnerability labs and audit methodology notes
- Open-source contributions to Web3 security projects
Hackathon project: a privacy-preserving payroll settlement demo on Solana.
It combines an Anchor onchain program, Token-2022 confidential-transfer concepts, a Laravel operator UI, local verification flows, and payroll receipt import logic. The project is a demo and research prototype, not a production custody protocol.

Public Web3 audit practice reports, including CodeHawks First Flight reviews and other disclosed security review writeups.
Many real platform findings cannot be published because of disclosure rules, private scopes, or contest/platform restrictions. I only publish reports and notes that are appropriate for public release.

Personal notes on Web3 CTF challenges, exploit patterns, common mistakes, and Remix-written Solidity solution contracts.

PoC-backed toy labs for Web3 vulnerability patterns, exploit reasoning, and audit triage notes.
Some labs are inspired by patterns encountered during audit practice, but all public cases are rewritten as standalone toy examples without private project details.
Repository: web3-vulnerability-labs
- EVM: Solidity, Foundry, Slither, common DeFi vulnerability classes
- Solana: Rust, Anchor, SPL Token, Token-2022, account validation patterns
- Security: threat modeling, exploit reproduction, PoC writing, impact triage
- Engineering: TypeScript, PHP/Laravel, Python, Git, test-driven debugging
I am currently looking for useful contributions in:
- Slither and other smart contract analysis tools
- Solana and Anchor developer tooling
- Public vulnerability labs with runnable tests
- Documentation and examples that improve security review workflows
