👋 Hello, I'm Scott

👨‍💻 Smart contract wizard obsessed with crafting secure, elegant blockchain solutions.

<br>

I bring DApps to life from zero to launch—architecting contracts, building frontends, and connecting the dots with subgraphs and backends.
<br>
My code runs on both Ethereum (my first love) and Solana. Polkadot in learning.
<br><br>
When I'm not optimizing gas fees or auditing protocols, I'm exploring the cutting edge of Web3 and its new protocols.
<br><br>
