Hi there 👋
I am a crypto dev. Prior to that, I worked as a search engine engineer for 8 years. Overall, I consider myself a full-stack engineer. I am knowledgeable in cryptography (smart contracts, infrastructures, cryptographic primitives such as ZK and FHE), proficient in front-end development, and familiar with data science and artificial intelligence algorithms. I enjoy innovative ideas and transforming them into products.
If you have interesting ideas to discuss, look for collaboration, or simply want to contact, feel free to reach out to me.

Some of the Projects I Have Worked on
🎮 TaikoVerse
It's a fully on-chain Minecraft-like game running on Taiko L3. The game has gained much popularity among the Taiko and Loopring communities. During its two-month operation, the game attracted around 500 players, with 260,000 transactions made on-chain.
🏆 This game won the first Taiko Community Grant. (see the annoucement)
💨 Degenchain
Degenchain (explorer) is a zk-rollup L2 running on Sepolia testnet. It incorporates modifications to Taiko to make it more optimistic and achieves better performance: one-second block time and 300 million block gas limit. This enables the possibilities of innovative Solidity applications, such as fully on-chain games. Currently, it is in the testnet phase and has been running smoothly for five months, with 5.44 million transactions made on-chain.
👻 soulink.app
soulink.app is a social dApp, developed in collaboration with my friend Chris. It aims to help a group of people record a shared moment and mint soul-bound tokens stored on-chain. Currently, it is running on the Polygon Mumbai testnet. We loved the idea and created a prototype of the product, but due to work commitments, we did not continue its operation. If given enough time, we would turn it into a cool mobile application.
📊 dApp Dashboards
Although I primarily focus on product development, I am at heart a data scientist. I have created popular data products for various community projects. The most well-known ones are the data analysis dashboards (A5, A4, A3, A2) for a series of Taiko testnets, which have been widely shared and utilized within the community. I developed everything from scratch, including storage, data pipelines, and charts. I also made dashboards for numerous dApps and DAOs. (Curve, ENS1, ENS2, ENS3, CityDAO, SeedClub)
🥷 DeFi Projects
Since 2021, I have been involved in the development of several DeFi projects, primarily on Solana. I am a core Rust smart contract engineer. Due to policy reasons, I need to maintain anonymity. However, I am well-acquainted with the Solana ecosystem and appreciate the vibrant community built on it. Despite the setbacks that have occurred, I firmly believe that challenges will only make the community stronger.
🧠 Pre-Crypto Experience
Before joining the crypto space, I worked as a search engine engineer for the second-largest search engine in China until it was acquired by Tencent. I am well-versed in intelligent question answering, natural language processing, and knowledge graphs. I led an artificial intelligence research team and contributed to the development of several impressive product functionalities, such as knowledge graph-based QA systems, natural language compilers, medical triage systems, and intelligent college entrance examination recommendation systems. Some of these products garnered millions of users.
