Lead Protocol Engineer (core developer)

Delivered the engineering work to transform protocol specifications into production smart contracts and integration code. Responsibilities included writing and deploying upgradeable contracts for staking, fee distribution and gateway routing, as well as building adapters that translate external CEX/DEX order formats into the protocol's internal routing logic. Managed or coordinated third‑party security audits, implemented fixes arising from findings, and executed deployment processes including migrations and emergency patches. These concrete engineering deliverables defined how ORN locks, reward schedules and slashing or fee‑allocation rules operated on‑chain, directly affecting token utility and participant incentives. Built and maintained off‑chain components responsible for order aggregation, routing optimization and connectivity to exchange APIs. The combination of smart‑contract code, audit remediation and integration adapters produced by this engineering role was instrumental in making Orion's liquidity aggregation mechanics reliable and auditable, thereby shaping market behavior around ORN staking and usage.
