Alex Rivera, Blockchain Developer
I build security-first smart contracts, elegant decentralized apps, and the Web3 infrastructure that makes digital ownership work. Backed by 4+ years and $12M in audited DeFi protocols.
Alex Rivera
Smart Contract Engineer
From distributed ledgers to decentralized autonomy.
My path into Web3 started with a question: how can we build systems no single entity controls? That curiosity turned into a career designing smart contracts for DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and supply chain consortia.
I focus on minimal, verifiable code and rigorous testing. Every contract I ship includes a full test suite and has been audited by firms like Consensys or Trail of Bits.
I'm always exploring new primitives — account abstraction, Layer 2 rollups, zero-knowledge proofs — and I love turning those into products real people use daily.
Projects that ship
Decentralized Voting DApp
A secure, transparent platform ensuring immutable, auditable votes on a public ledger. Used in the 2023 DAO elections with 15,000+ ballots cast without a single dispute.
View DetailsAssetVault Marketplace
A suite of audited smart contracts handling minting, listing, bidding, and sales for a digital asset marketplace. Processed $4.2M in volume in its first year with zero vulnerabilities.
View DetailsTraceChain Solutions
A private blockchain for tracking pharmaceuticals across a 12-country supply chain, reducing counterfeit incidents by 98% and improving recall times from days to minutes.

Common questions
It depends on complexity. A standard ERC-20 contract with a minimal token logic runs between $5,000 and $15,000. For a complex DeFi protocol with custom logic, audits typically range from $25,000 to $80,000. I also offer a streamlined code review for smaller projects starting at $2,500.
I specialize in Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains (Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base). I also have production experience with Solana (Rust) and Hyperledger Fabric for enterprise use cases. For most projects, I recommend starting with an EVM chain for the richest tooling and ecosystem support.
Absolutely. I regularly work with founders on token distribution models, vesting schedules, inflationary/deflationary mechanics, and governance structures. I can produce a full tokenomics document paired with the executable smart contracts, so your token model and code are perfectly aligned.
