Blockchain & Web3 engineer

Rama Chandra Reddy.

Self-taught blockchain engineer and smart-contract auditor — 3+ years on Ethereum, 2+ on Solana. I build the whole stack, from Solidity and Anchor contracts to Node.js backends and React Native apps, and hunt vulnerabilities in audit contests on Code4rena, Cantina, and Sherlock.

I build the full stack — from Solidity and Anchor contracts to Go backends and React Native apps — and I audit them too, with a deep interest in how the EVM & SVM actually work under the hood.

I finish my Computer Science degree at RGUKT Nuzvid in 2026. I started building on Ethereum in 2022 and on Solana the year after, with hands-on knowledge of Merkle trees, Solana Pay & Blinks, and applied cryptography.

Today I architect a diamond-style perpetual futures DEX and its Go event-ingestion backend at Chain Systems, and I've shipped a non-custodial Solana wallet serving 1,000+ users. Alongside the building I audit — confirmed highs and mediums on Sherlock and Code4rena — because the two halves make each other sharper.

Tools of the trade.

Five languages, two virtual machines and the testing tooling that keeps them honest — contracts, backends and the apps that talk to them.

My Résumé

Blockchain engineer and smart-contract auditor with 3+ years on Ethereum and 2+ on Solana, plus Go and Node.js backends, full-stack MERN and Android (React Native / Expo). I ship end to end — from Solidity and Anchor contracts to production mobile apps — and have built everything from NFTs to perpetual DEXs, with a strong grasp of EVM & SVM internals, Merkle trees, Solana Pay & Blinks, and applied cryptography. I compete in audit contests on Code4rena, Cantina and Sherlock with confirmed findings, and write deep-dives on Compound V3, Uniswap V2 / V3, perpetuals and account abstraction.

Experience

Blockchain Engineer

Jul 2025 — Present

Chain Systems

  • Architected a modular, diamond-style Perpetual Futures DEX on Ethereum — a delegatecall-router protocol for leveraged long / short positions settled in USDT: central Vault custody, a two-step keeper execution model for front-running protection, dynamic skew / funding / borrow fees, liquidations and stop-loss / take-profit triggers, a manipulation-resistant multi-source oracle (Chainlink + DEX median + PancakeSwap), an on-chain referral layer and emergency settlement — backed by a full Foundry suite of unit + fuzz / invariant tests across every manager, library, the oracle, referral and vault.
  • Architecting the Go backend for that Perpetual Futures DEX — idempotent event ingestion (WebSocket + webhook + gap-fill), a price-tick-driven scheduler, band-query liquidation / trigger / limit detectors, and a two-step keeper request / execution model, built for 10k+ positions with sub-10 ms detector queries.
  • Built Sol Maker (sol-maker.com), a no-code Solana token launcher: configure mint / freeze / metadata authorities, set custom mint-address prefixes & suffixes, and manage burns, freezes, ownership and metadata from a simple form.
  • Led store-app development for Ping Pay v2 — shipping the lending system, a referral program and a hardened on-chain rewards mechanism.
  • Shipped two KOLS on-chain games on Binance (BNB Chain) using VRF: a bet game paying 0–2× (claw) and a slot / roulette jackpot (roulette).
  • Solo-built Ping Pay — a non-custodial Solana wallet shipped as both an Android app and a Chrome extension, serving 1,000+ users and ~$10–12M in wallet assets; wrote the v1 store-payment contracts in Anchor / Rust.
  • Solo-built Sword MasterAndroid + Telegram mini-app (@sword_game_bot) — a full-stack watch-to-earn game (swords, shields, gold) where gold converts to vouchers redeemable in the KOLS shopping app, plus an admin panel for operations and player rewards.

Blockchain Intern

Mar 2025 — July 2025

Straw Hat XYZ · Bangalore

  • Led the operations of a Solana development lab run by the company in collaboration with the college.
  • Researched cryptography methods to strengthen encryption / decryption and data security.
  • Designed a complete blockchain architecture from scratch, referencing Flow, Hyperliquid and Bullet for scalability, security and efficiency.

Freelance Smart-Contract Developer & Auditor

Self-employed · Fiverr & open source

  • Built token-sale platforms for the Karma and mintore.io projects.
  • Wrote Solana-based airdrop smart contracts for a meme-coin project.
  • Audited a presale smart contract for a private Ethereum client, identifying vulnerabilities and securing token distribution (see Security & Auditing).

Security & Auditing

Sherlock — Mellow Flexible Vaults 1 High1 Med

Recently surfaced a high- and a medium-severity bug, strengthening the vaults' flexible DeFi operations.

How I can help.

Six stacks, one engineer. Contracts on either VM, the protocol design behind them, the audit that hardens them, and the backend and apps that put them in front of users.

Ethereum Smart Contracts

Solidity · Foundry · OpenZeppelin. DEXs, on-chain games, NFT systems and token tooling — upgradeable via UUPS or diamond proxies, with Chainlink VRF and price feeds wired in.

Solana Programs

Rust · Anchor · SPL. Programs built around PDAs and CPIs — token launchers, store-payment and airdrop contracts, non-custodial wallet flows, Solana Pay and Blinks.

DeFi Protocol Architecture

Perps · ERC-4626 vaults · oracles. Modular systems from the whiteboard up — funding and borrow-fee engines, two-step keeper execution, multi-source price feeds, risk tiers and referral layers.

Auditing & Test Engineering

Sherlock · Code4rena · Slither / MythX. Contest and private audits with confirmed highs and mediums, backed by Foundry unit, fuzz and invariant suites over every execution path.

Go & Node.js Backends

Go · Node.js · GraphQL · MongoDB / SQL. Idempotent event ingestion over WebSocket, webhook and gap-fill, indexers, tick-driven schedulers and keeper services built for 10k+ positions.

Mobile, Extensions & Frontend

React Native · Next.js · wagmi / viem. Play-Store Android apps and Chrome wallet extensions, plus dApp UIs wired to Ethereum through wagmi and to Solana through the wallet adapter.

Let's build something.
