Hello! I’m icingdeath, a Senior Blockchain Security Engineer, specializing in smart contract security, invariant development, and comprehensive protocol security reviews.
With a four year tenure at Trail of Bits, I was the first member of the unofficial blockchain apprenticeship program, progressing into a Senior role. Here, I led complex client audits, and mentored a growing team of engineers. My approach is a developer-first security mindset. Having spent my time previously as a builder and a problem solver, I bridge the gap between high-level security research and practical software development.
I thrive on solving complex problems and I am particularly passionate about invariant identification, and building automated testing suites. By proactively identifying invariants during calls and code walkthroughs, I provide clients a strategic foundation that leads to a deeper understanding of their codebase and safe protocols.
I am currently available for security review contracts, development opportunities, and strategic advisory.
