What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior role where I can build full-stack, cloud-native products with serverless + event-driven architecture, applying AI/LLM and blockchain to deliver secure, high-uptime platforms in a collaborative remote environment.

I’m a senior software engineer with 10 years of experience building full-stack applications, cloud-native systems, and blockchain-based solutions. I thrive in event-driven, modular architectures and I’m comfortable operating across frontend, backend, and platform engineering in remote teams.

Most recently, I launched the NFT Founders’ Pass onboarding platform to 400k+ users in 1 week, using Next.js, Hasura, and a serverless backend—delivering 99.99% uptime during peak loads. I designed event-driven architecture that reduced ops overhead by 40%, and helped evolve it over 3+ years to support authentication, fiat/crypto payments, player entitlements, moderation, and internal admin tools.

Earlier, I joined ESG Impact as the first engineer, defined the MERN/Svelte stack, and built a secure trial data platform with microservice APIs (Express, K8s) and AWS-powered workflows. I’ve also led UI and web/mobile development using React/React Native, improved checkout reliability, and contributed to privacy-first web3 experiences—alongside hands-on blockchain integration work and testing.
