Myles is a Smart Contract Engineer with 3+ years of hands-on experience building and deploying secure, efficient smart contracts across Ethereum and L2 ecosystems — with a strong focus on protocol design, DeFi integrations, and production-grade code quality.
About Myles
Myles spent nearly four years at Linum Labs in Cape Town as a Solidity Developer, where he designed, developed, tested, and deployed gas-optimised smart contracts for EVM-based applications. Working within cross-functional teams, he shipped production contracts on tight deadlines and contributed to audited, live protocols.
His highlights at Linum Labs include leading a smart contract team that built a full token launch suite — ERC20, Airdrop, Vesting, Staking, and Treasury contracts for an AI trading platform, audited by Audit Labs and Nethermind and deployed live on Base. He also contributed to an over-collateralised stablecoin lending and borrowing platform, and served as lead developer on an EigenLayer integration for a leading Ethereum Liquid Staking protocol using the LayerZero OFT cross-chain standard.
Before moving into Web3, Myles spent over a decade in broadcast media — as a Television Producer at ETV and as a Video Editor at Homebrew Films and Clockwork Zoo — bringing a sharp eye for precision and delivery to every project. He holds an Advanced Foundry certification and has trained through Cyfrin Updraft, Udacity, Udemy, and HyperionDev.
Focus Areas
- Smart contract development & gas optimisation (Solidity / Foundry)
- DeFi protocol design — stablecoins, staking, vesting, airdrop systems
- Cross-chain integrations — LayerZero, Chainlink CCIP
- EigenLayer restaking & liquid staking infrastructure
How Myles Works With You
- Builds and ships production-ready smart contracts with a focus on security, gas efficiency, and correctness — backed by audit-tested delivery experience at Linum Labs across DeFi protocols live on Base.
- Designs end-to-end DeFi systems — from token launch suites and vesting schedules through to stablecoin vaults and automated liquidation logic — handling the full contract lifecycle from specification to deployment.
- Integrates cross-chain infrastructure with precision: whether bridging assets via LayerZero OFT or wiring up Chainlink CCIP, Myles brings protocol-level depth to interoperability challenges without sacrificing security.
