My experience also includes conducting over 200 code reviews, mentoring junior developers, and collaborating closely with DevOps teams to design automated CI/CD pipelines.
Previously, as a Blockchain Developer at PureCrypto, I contributed to the development of smart contracts and backend applications for over 10 projects, including a Token Bridge and NFT Marketplace.
