Hi there, I'm Simone Di Cola

Building smart contracts and DeFi protocols on Ethereum and Solana. Working with Solidity, Rust, TypeScript, and frameworks like Hardhat, Foundry, and Anchor to create decentralised applications.

Currently a backend engineer at DWP Digital, previously scaled payment systems at Booking.com, handling millions of transactions. PhD in Software Engineering. Strong foundation in distributed systems.

Transitioning my experience in building large-scale enterprise systems into the blockchain space. The principles stay the same—design systems that scale, perform reliably, and solve real problems.
