Job overview
- Identified and fixed a reentrancy vulnerability in an ERC20 token contract by restructuring withdrawal logic to follow the Checks-Effects-Interactions pattern.
- Implemented access control using OpenZeppelin's Ownable to restrict sensitive functions (minting, ownership transfer) to authorized addresses only.
- Debugged and corrected Solidity syntax and logic errors across multiple practice contracts, enhancing contract reliability and security.
- Analyzed common smart contract attack vectors (reentrancy, tx.origin phishing) through hands-on examination of vulnerable code samples to inform best practices.

Accomplishments
Accomplishments
- Found and fixed a critical reentrancy vulnerability in a sample smart contract that could have allowed an attacker to drain contract funds — corrected by reordering state updates before external calls.
- Built working knowledge of OpenZeppelin's security libraries (Ownable, ReentrancyGuard) and applied them correctly across multiple practice contracts within days of starting.
- Independently diagnosed and corrected recurring Solidity syntax and access-control errors without external code review, improving contract correctness through iterative self-testing.
- Established a daily hands-on practice routine focused on smart contract security, prioritizing real vulnerability analysis over passive tutorial-following.
