What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

As a dedicated software developer with extensive experience in frontend technologies and blockchain integration, I have successfully led projects that enhance user experience and streamline complex processes. My journey began with a strong foundation in Environmental Science, which has uniquely equipped me to approach software development with a problem-solving mindset.

In my current role as Lead Senior Frontend Developer at Dcentralab, I spearheaded the development of a scalable frontend codebase that supports cross-chain token transfers across over 20 blockchain networks. My expertise in Next.js, React, and TypeScript has allowed me to create a unified wallet interface that significantly improves user experience. I take pride in my ability to manage multiple deployment environments and ensure safe rollouts, which has been crucial in maintaining the integrity of our applications.

Throughout my career, I have consistently delivered high-impact projects, such as leading the front-end development for Voltage Finance, which achieved $2 million in liquidity. My work has not only focused on technical implementation but also on understanding user needs and creating solutions that drive engagement and satisfaction. I am passionate about leveraging technology to create innovative solutions that make a difference.
