As a Research and Development Engineer Teamlead at DeFi Project, I leverage my expertise in Solidity, smart contract development, and applied mathematics to create cutting-edge decentralized solutions. I have over a year of experience in leading the end-to-end development of a groundbreaking DeFi project, forking the 0x protocol and integrating various swap protocols, such as Uniswap, Curve, and 1Inch.I excel in researching, designing, implementing, testing, deploying, and optimizing smart contract architectures, using tools like HardHat, Tenderly, and mainnet forking. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver robust and scalable products that meet the needs of the DeFi market. Some of my key achievements include developing a comprehensive end-to-end testing tool, designing features interfacing with diverse protocols, and crafting a smart protocol for efficient liquidity routing between DEXs. I also have a profound understanding of EIP 4337 in the context of third-party gas payments. Prior to joining DeFi Project, I was an Assistant Professor and a Postdoctoral Researcher at Perm State Technical University, where I led the development of advanced numerical methods to solve complex mechanical problems, focusing on large plastic deformation. I have over six years of experience in applying and developing high-performance computing solutions, using C++, CUDA, and OpenMP. I also spearheaded multiple scientific projects, securing government grants and contributing to the fundamental understanding of metal plasticity. I hold a PhD in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, and I have published multiple papers in prestigious journals.
