About Me

Before transitioning into smart contract programming, I worked in industrial software development. In 2018, I began writing smart contracts and have since contributed to several innovations in the Ethereum ecosystem.

Highlights of my work:

• Co-author of EIP-998: The Composable Non-Fungible Token standard, which allows ERC-721 tokens to own other tokens.

• Author of EIP-2535 Diamonds: A standard for modular, upgradeable smart contract architectures.

• Core development: Built the smart contracts that powered the launch of Aavegotchi, a DeFi-driven NFT game, using EIP-2535 Diamonds.

• Ecosystem building: Helped launch Quickswap, one of the first major DEXs on Polygon.

• Advisory work: Guided numerous teams and projects on adopting EIP-2535 Diamonds in production.

• Security leadership: Led a small team of smart contract security auditors. Personally performed or reviewed audits for multiple projects, including:

  • NiftyKit Contracts

  • TokenTrust Canvas

  • Pixel Vault NFT

  • Universe.xyz Marketplace

My writing & resources:

• EIP-2535 Diamonds Substack: In-depth documentation on Diamonds and Solidity best practices.

• Dev.to blog: Articles on software development, Solidity, and smart contract engineering.

• Perfect Abstractions: My company and personal website.

• Awesome Diamonds: A curated collection of resources, libraries, tools, and projects built with EIP-2535 Diamonds.

• Medium Blog: Articles on software development, the Solidity programming language and NFTs.
