I've hired engineers on Upwork and know how hard it is to know if someone's credible.
I post my thoughts, code, and projects on X, where I have over 5k followers who are mostly software engineers in the SF bay area. Find me on X: georgepickett
I am a software engineer based in San Francisco obsessed with AI.
I'm a core maintainer of OpenClaw, I contribute to lots of open source projects, and run in-person meetups in SF teaching engineers best practices for agentic engineering. I build AI agents, automation systems, and developer tools that ship.
My recent open source work includes OpenClaw Studio, a TypeScript and Next.js dashboard for operating OpenClaw agents with 2,000+ GitHub stars, and lot of other tools I've built for myself and shared with the world.
I can help with AI strategy, building agents, chatbots, workflow automation, OpenAI and Claude integrations, Next.js apps, Python tooling, CLI workflows, and MVPs that need both product judgment and solid engineering.

Looking for a seasoned Blockchain & MEV trading bot developer to turn your smart contract and decentralized application (dApp) ideas into reality? In need of a developer proficient in Solidity or Rust to craft 'Gas-Optimized' smart contracts? Whether you aim to create ERC20 or SPL tokens, ERC721, ERC1155, or ERC404 NFTs with unique functionalities, or are wary of vulnerabilities in high-value contracts and need testing or scripts to interact with top DEX protocols—I'm here to help.
With a strong expertise in EVM-compatible chains like Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain as well as Solana, I focus on delivering efficient, gas-optimized smart contracts and tailor-made dApps. My goal is to assist clients in building secure, robust smart contracts that minimize risks and prevent exploits.
Consider collaborating with me if you're considering any of the following:
✅ "My bot is not profitable—I need a developer to optimize it for MEV trading."
✅ "I need a Solana Copy Trader bot to automate my trades."
✅ "I want to boost my token volume with maker bot or volume bots"
✅ "I need a top-tier developer who's invested in my success."
✅ "I want guidance through every part of smart contract interaction."
✅ "Gas fees are high! My smart contract needs to be efficient and fast."
✅ "While I'm knowledgeable about blockchain, I need a pro to ensure my smart contracts are impeccable."
✅ "I'm not an expert on Ethereum or Solana and can't afford to make mistakes with dApps."
✅ "Our earlier dApp didn't work out—I can't let that happen again."
✅ "I require an expert on EVM-compatible blockchains or Solana for cross-chain solutions."
Feedback from past clients includes:
✔️ "...outstanding technical skills and great communication... Completed the project ahead of schedule."
✔️ "Exceptional work... ensured clarity at every step."
✔️ "...approached the project as his own... highly professional and always ready with optimal solutions."
✔️ "...his comprehensive work was impressive!"
✔️ "...exceeds expectations. His professionalism and grasp of blockchain are exceptional."
✔️ "...great communication, rapid delivery, and extensive knowledge of smart contracts."
Engaging with me means:
💎 Access to a developer adept in Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Rust, Solidity, Brownie, Hardhat, NextJS, Foundry, and Anchor.
💎 Eliminating vulnerabilities and reducing gas fees during deployment and interactions.
💎 Enhancing your DApp’s security with ongoing improvements.
💎 Saving time and resources—you don't need separate back-end, front-end, Rust, or Solidity developers; I provide all these services as a full-stack developer.
💎 Receiving tailored scripts for liquidity operations, lending, borrowing, and more across leading dApp protocols.
💎 Optimizing for multi-chain features—whether bridging Ethereum, BSC, or Solana, I can develop solutions integrating seamlessly across multiple networks.
My Blockchain Skills & Expertise:
☑️ Solidity development for EVM-compatible smart contracts.
☑️ Rust development for the Solana Blockchain.
☑️ Experience with Chainlink and various ERC standards using OpenZeppelin.
☑️ Token development (ERC20/BEP20/SPL) with attributes like Mintable, Burnable, Reflections, TxFee, Whitelisting/Blacklisting, and IDO/ICO for tokens.
☑️ NFTs (ERC721, ERC1155, ERC404, etc) with features like Whitelisting, Royalties, Presale, Public Sale, Dutch Auctions, IPFS Hosting, and Dynamic NFTs.
☑️ Full-stack Blockchain Developer expertise in Solidity, Python (Brownie), JavaScript (Hardhat), Typescript, Rust (Anchor), NextJS, and Foundry.
☑️ Program and script development for deploying/interacting with smart contracts and protocols like Aave, Uniswap, Raydium, and PancakeSwap.
Why Choose Me:
💎 Extensive Experience: Crafted hundreds of smart contracts from scratch, developing resilient back-end scripts for deployment.
💎 Problem Solving Expert: Skilled at developing projects from the ground up, tackling complex issues, and iterative prototyping.
💎 Gas Optimization Techniques: Employs advanced strategies for minimizing gas costs and thoroughly testing to identify and mitigate potential exploits.
Background in Numbers:
✔️ Over 3 years of experience with Blockchain technology.
✔️ Created numerous DApps and scripts for tokens and protocols like ERC20, BEP20, SPL, ERC721, and ERC1155.
✔️ Contributed to several expanding DApp projects including Crowdfunding platforms, Airdropping systems, DEXs, insurance, ICO, IDO, Tokens, Lottery, and NFT marketplaces.
✔️ Developed a range of smart contracts.
✔️ Authored comprehensive test scripts for smart contracts using Foundry, Hardhat, and Anchor.
