Hi, my name is

Dan Damian

Senior Blockchain Developer

AI-augmented engineer who ships at 100x speed. I pair with AI on everything — from architecture to deployment — turning weeks of work into hours. Backed by 10+ years of hands-on coding across Rust, Solana, Node.js/TypeScript, and EVM smart contracts. Co-founded and scaled Venbot.io to 3,000 MAU with ~100,000 trades. Building the future where AI and deep engineering experience compound into something extraordinary.
