Summary

I am excited to apply for the Smart Contract Engineer position. With over 6 years of experience in blockchain engineering and a proven track record of designing and deploying secure, scalable DeFi and Web3 protocols, I believe my background aligns closely with your requirements.

I bring deep expertise in Solidity, EVM internals, and smart contract security, with hands-on experience in:

1. Designing custody-less deposits, payout logic, and tokenomics frameworks.
2. Writing, testing, and deploying production-grade contracts using Solidity and Rust (Solana).
3. Integrating VRF/oracle randomness providers and implementing fuzz/property-based testing with Foundry/Hardhat.
4. Conducting gas optimizations, security reviews, and audit-prep workflows.
5. Collaborating cross-functionally with frontend and infra engineers to deliver seamless integrations.

Over my career, I have deployed multiple on-chain projects (contract addresses can be shared upon request), contributed to advanced DeFi infrastructure (staking, MEV mitigation, cross-chain bridging, custody protocols), and participated in security reviews and audit preparation. I also maintain an active GitHub portfolio with clean, tested code.

I am very enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute my expertise in secure smart contract engineering, tokenomics, and protocol architecture to your team. I’d be glad to take on the technical test and discuss how I can add value.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,

Nikhil Bajaj
