Josh Weintraub

I'm a smart contract engineer with a strong academic foundation in cryptography and blockchain technology. My graduate studies focused on cryptocurrency and blockchain systems, with my thesis exploring methods to counter economic attacks on DAOs—research that directly informs my approach to protocol design and security.

I bring deep knowledge of DeFi and core associated protocols, having worked extensively with cross-chain systems, governance mechanisms, and decentralized finance infrastructure. This expertise enables me to build robust, secure solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing DeFi ecosystems.

Beyond technical skills, I have excellent communication and public speaking abilities, which I've demonstrated through leading technical sessions, contributing to governance discussions, and presenting complex concepts to diverse audiences. I believe clear communication is essential for building trust and collaboration in the Web3 space.

I'm particularly passionate about privacy-preserving technology and maintain a strong security focus in all my work. I'm dedicated to Ethereum-alignment and committed to advancing the ecosystem through secure, privacy-conscious protocol development.

Currently open to work — I'm seeking opportunities to apply my expertise in smart contract development, DeFi protocols, and security-focused engineering to meaningful projects that prioritize privacy and security.
