Independent web3 security researcher and smart contract auditor
About me
Hi, I'm heavyw8t. I came to smart contract security from neuroscience and data science, and these days I spend most of my time reading DeFi code in Solidity and Rust. I audit for Oak Security and SB Security, and also through Zenith or directly for private clients. Outside audits, I compete in public contests, lead judging at Cantina and triage at Zenith.
