Cryptara

With over a decade in cybersecurity and more than four years specializing in Web3 security, I have worked extensively on securing decentralized systems, including DeFi protocols, bridges, staking mechanisms, and governance frameworks. My expertise spans smart contract auditing, exploit development, and protocol security, with deep knowledge of low-level programming, fault dispute resolution, and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) internals. I have contributed to critical security assessments for high-impact projects, identifying vulnerabilities in financial primitives, cross-chain interoperability, and on-chain governance. Beyond audits, I engage in open-source contributions, security research, and knowledge sharing through speaking engagements and technical content. Passionate about advancing security in the decentralized ecosystem, I remain committed to building resilient and robust blockchain infrastructure.

Education and Certifications

I hold a Master's degree in IT Security and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. Alongside certifications like the Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) and others, I continually pursue specialized courses and contribute to digital content to stay current in the evolving cybersecurity landscape.

Achievements and Contributions

Throughout my career, I've earned several awards in the technological field, including top positions in Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions and honorable mentions for innovative technological solutions. I've also spoken at prestigious venues worldwide and online events, sharing insights on cybersecurity trends and emerging threats.

In the open-source community, I've developed tools in C for binary file manipulations, reverse engineering tools and created grammar-aware Solidity query tools to facilitate static semantic searches in Solidity codebases. Additionally, I've contributed to pull requests within the Web3 ecosystem, demonstrating my commitment to collaborative development and decentralized technologies.

Personal Interests

Beyond cybersecurity, I'm a licensed private pilot, reflecting my passion for aviation and precision. This interest complements my analytical skills and attention to detail, both vital in my professional endeavors.
