Biography
I'm an independent security researcher specialized in Solidity, Cairo and Rust audits. In the past, I have worked on DeFi protocols, cross-chain applications, ZK systems, and VM as well as node implementations. I prefer not to specialise in any single area in order to develop the broadest possible understanding of the full blockchain stack. I enjoy working on longer duration engagements and high complexity systems.
I initially developed my expertise through competitive audits on Code4rena, where I ranked #8 solo and #2 with Radiant Labs on the 2024 yearly leaderboard. Some of our notable achievements included discovering significant issues in Reserve Core's mechanisms after audits by six different companies, uncovering issues with Optimism's Fault Dispute Game that led the Optimism Foundation to disable permissionless fraud proofs following the audit, and placing first with 13 H/M severity findings in the Kakarot's zkEVM Code4rena contest, while the second place found 1.
Nowadays, I spend my time mostly bounty hunting and on selected security reviews.
