I focus on the architectural integrity, prover stability, and security of Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystems. I recently completed a "contribution marathon" across Arbitrum, Linea, and ZKsync, solving critical bottlenecks in node logic and proof generation.

🚀 Recent Contributions (L2 Marathon)

1. Arbitrum (Offchain Labs) — Node Integrity

• Issue: Prevented database corruption during node reorgs (#4098).
• Solution: Implemented pre-initialization state validation in cmd/nitro/init.go (PR #4163).
• Impact: Eliminated risks of "bricking" nodes during rollbacks, protecting operator databases from inconsistency.

2. Linea (Consensys) — ZkTracer Architecture

• Issue: Fixed decoupling of line counts from trace height in arithmetic modules (Issue #1955).
• Solution: Refactored computeLineCount() logic in Java-based tracers to support dynamic complexity.
• Impact: Ensured stable proof generation and eliminated "silent errors" in trace files.

3. ZKsync Era — Prover & CI Optimization

• Contribution: Refactored magic constants into named parameters to improve system auditability (PR #1230).
• Action: Optimized GitHub Actions for the core proof generation pipeline to speed up CI/CD cycles.
• Result: Enhanced code maintainability and transparency for the prover infrastructure.
