Steven Molina
Protocol & Systems Engineer
A Systems Engineer focused on correctness, incentives, and low-level infrastructure. I build the rails that Web3 runs on.
I specialize in Rust, smart contract architecture, and distributed systems. I focus on the critical path: engineering secure voting modules, automated payment flows, and custom token incentives. My priority is ensuring protocols are gas-efficient, verifiable, and safe from the EVM level down to the metal.
Building trustless infrastructure for the decentralized web
With a deep background in low-level systems and blockchain primitives, I engineer protocols that are secure, efficient, and censorship-resistant. I move beyond simple dApps to architect the underlying systems that power the ecosystem.
