What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote Frontend-focused Full Stack Blockchain role where I can build polished React/Next.js products, Web3 interfaces, wallet integrations, fintech features, and smart contract-connected applications with strong testing, security, and production reliability.

I’m a Frontend-focused Full Stack & Blockchain Engineer with 6+ years of experience building production web applications, React/Next.js interfaces, Web3 frontends, fintech products, backend APIs, and smart contract integrations.

My strongest work is on the frontend and product layer: building scalable user-facing applications, dashboards, authentication flows, payment interfaces, wallet-connected experiences, Web3 interaction flows, and maintainable React/TypeScript architectures. I work with React, Next.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, TailwindCSS, React Native, REST APIs, PostgreSQL workflows, Node.js services, and third-party integrations.

At Vita Wallet, I contributed to fintech and crypto product features across React/React Native applications, payment workflows, Binance-related integrations, backend services, PostgreSQL flows, testing, debugging, production support, and platform reliability.

On the blockchain side, I build and integrate Solidity smart contracts using Foundry, Hardhat, OpenZeppelin, wagmi, viem, Ethers.js, MetaMask, RainbowKit, and modern Web3 tooling. My experience includes wallet integrations, DeFi workflows, governance systems, vault and treasury features, NFT platforms, JSON-RPC integrations, fuzz testing, invariant testing, mainnet fork testing, Slither, and Aderyn.

I’m especially interested in remote roles where I can help teams build polished frontend experiences for fintech, Web3, DeFi, payments, and blockchain products, while also contributing to smart contract integration, testing, security, and production-ready delivery.
