What I'm looking for
I am a Full Stack Engineer with over seven years of hands-on experience in developing robust backend infrastructures and frontend applications. My expertise lies in leveraging technologies such as Rust, Go, Typescript, and JavaScript to create efficient and scalable solutions. I have a proven track record in microservices development and a specialist understanding of distributed systems management and DevOps practices.
At XSwap Protocol, I successfully launched a cross-chain swaps platform, achieving a market cap of $7M and significantly improving transaction throughput and reducing gas fees. My role involved leading a cross-functional team and mentoring junior developers, which fostered a collaborative environment that enhanced project delivery times. Previously, at Dexterity Capital, I designed Go-based microservices and developed a multi-threaded Rust WebSocket proxy server, optimizing backend performance and enhancing system visibility through improved logging and monitoring.
I am passionate about utilizing my skills in a dynamic environment where I can contribute to innovative projects and continue to grow professionally. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my ability to deliver projects on time and within budget while maintaining high standards of quality.
