I’m Jordan, a developer mostly working on Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) based smart contracts and applications. I'm interested in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Gaming use cases on the blockchain.
I am part of the Solidity Guild, a collective of web3 developers.
I built raider.finance, an auto-compounding vault implementation for the Crypto Raiders LP staking contracts.
I'm currently working with OlympusDAO to build and enhance their smart contract systems.
I write weekly newsletter based on my notes as a smart contract developer, called Dev's Journal.
I try to learn by doing deep-dive reviews of popular blockchain protocols and thinking about new innovations that could build on them.
