Principal Engineer — DeFi / RWA lending protocol

20+production contracts on a ~$100M-TVL protocol
Overview

An undisclosed DeFi / RWA protocol: lending and borrowing against NFT- and ERC-collateralized positions, with vote-escrow governance and treasury systems. The work runs the full depth — twenty-plus production-grade contracts with security and time-lock mechanisms and real financial-math models, through the SSR frontend, RPC tooling and a deployer suite, down to dockerized localnets that interface mainnet. The signature contribution is iREET: a crypto-MSCI-World index for real-world assets, on a protocol holding roughly $100M in tokenized gold and housing. The codebase has been put through real audit firms and an open competition. As in the larger pattern, a decisive operator holds the commercial front while the engineering is owned end to end.

What was built
  • Designed and shipped 20+ production contracts — ERC-20/721/1155/4626, vote-escrow governance, treasury and time-lock mechanisms, with the financial-math models behind them.
  • Invented a crypto-MSCI-World-style index for real-world assets (iREET).
  • Built the SSR frontend (Next.js / Tailwind), RPC tooling, a deployer suite and dockerized localnets that mirror mainnet.
  • Stood up a ZK-based KYC + NFT proof-of-ownership validation flow.
  • Owned the security & audit process: comprehensive unit + e2e tests, CI workflows and the documentation site.
