Uniswap Foundation Hook Incubator -- extending programmable AMM logic.

Problem

Standard AMM pools lack lifecycle-level customization. Pool behavior is static regardless of market conditions, leading to suboptimal fee capture and LP losses during high-volatility regimes.

Solution

Implemented custom hooks leveraging beforeSwap() and afterSwap() lifecycle logic using the official v4 template and Foundry. Built structured swap logging, pool state inspection utilities, and local Anvil environments for deterministic testing. Designing adaptive fee mechanisms gated on realized volatility.

Impact

Active incubator participant shipping hook logic that enables dynamic pool behavior. Established reproducible deployment and verification workflows for hook contracts.

Jagadeeshftw/grainlify -- Soroban DeFi protocol on Stellar.

Problem

The Grainlify DeFi protocol lacked formal contract state verification, creating risk of silent state corruption and capital safety failures during execution.

Solution

Engineered contract state verification and audit functions that validate invariants at each state transition. Implemented structured validation logic to ensure protocol correctness across all reachable states.

Impact

Merged PR strengthening execution integrity and capital safety across the live protocol. Part of 950+ ecosystem contribution points across the Soroban/Stellar ecosystem.

MindFlowInteractive/quest-contract -- Blockchain-native competitive mechanics on Soroban.

Problem

Existing competition systems relied on off-chain resolution, introducing trust assumptions and non-deterministic outcomes. No on-chain mechanism for time-constrained challenges.

Solution

Built deterministic time-attack and speed-run smart contracts supporting blockchain-native competitive mechanics. Implemented structured exception filtering and protocol-level error handling with full on-chain resolution.

Impact

Two merged PRs delivering a complete competitive contract system. All outcomes verifiable on-chain with full execution determinism.

MDTechLabs/GasGuard -- On-chain gas and resource cost modeling on Soroban.

Problem

Soroban contracts lacked transparent, structured resource cost models, making it difficult for developers to reason about execution costs and optimize contract interactions.

Solution

Implemented resource cost model definitions providing structured interfaces for on-chain gas estimation and cost transparency. Designed the cost model as a composable primitive other contracts can integrate.

Impact

Merged PR enabling resource cost transparency for the GasGuard protocol. Directly improves developer experience for cost-aware contract design.

stellarspend/stellarspend-contracts -- Multi-asset settlement on Soroban.

Problem

On-chain multi-asset settlement required multiple sequential transactions, increasing gas costs and expanding the state-transition surface area for errors.

Solution

Developed a batch currency conversion contract enabling efficient multi-asset settlement in a single atomic transaction with structured error handling for partial failures.

Impact

Merged PR reducing settlement complexity from N transactions to one. Improved execution cost transparency for protocol consumers.

SaboStudios/Tycoon-Monorepo -- Infrastructure layer for a Soroban-based game protocol with NestJS backend.

Problem

The monorepo lacked centralized error handling across both smart contract modules and the NestJS API layer, leading to inconsistent exception behavior and difficulty debugging failed transactions end-to-end.

Solution

Implemented a global exception filter providing structured, protocol-level error handling and consistent exception filtering across all contract entry points and API endpoints. Applied NestJS exception filter patterns alongside Soroban contract-level error handling.

Impact

Merged PR standardizing error handling across the entire protocol stack (contracts + backend API). Reduced debugging surface area and improved reliability across the full execution path.

Women in Ethereum Protocol (Web3 Infrastructure Education Program) -- Cohort 4 study group and protocol-level open source work.

Problem

Ethereum protocol development has limited contributor diversity and high onboarding friction. Progress tracking and structured study paths were needed to accelerate onboarding for new protocol engineers.

Solution

Participated in structured study group sessions covering protocol-level architecture. Forked repos, created branches, shipped issues and PRs for protocol-level improvements. Contributed to progress tracking mechanisms for Cohort 4 to improve accountability and learning outcomes.

Impact

Graduated WIEP Cohort 4. Delivered merged PRs contributing to Ethereum ecosystem development. Helped establish onboarding patterns for future cohort participants.

Cross-ecosystem contributions to developer education, documentation, and community building.

Problem

Blockchain developer tooling and protocols often lack accessible documentation, structured tutorials, and onboarding resources -- creating high barriers to entry for new contributors.

Solution

Created GitHub tutorials and workshop materials for smart contract development. Contributed technical documentation, analytics documentation, and style guides across multiple repositories. Delivered community education content through CreateHER Fest and WIEP study groups.

Impact

Reduced contributor onboarding friction across multiple ecosystems. Workshop materials and documentation reused by subsequent cohorts and community members.
