Frontend-focused full-stack engineer building scalable web and mobile products for fintech and crypto.
What I'm looking for
I'm a frontend-focused Full-Stack Engineer with 5+ years building and scaling web, mobile, and backend applications across fintech, crypto, and edtech. I lead end-to-end product development, architect scalable frontends, and deliver high-performance user experiences used by thousands daily.
I've launched multi-chain crypto products, education platforms, and payment systems, improving performance, reducing bundle sizes, and implementing features like KYC, real-time notifications, and payment integrations (Stripe, Apple Pay, Google Pay). I also migrate and modernize stacks (e.g., React Native to Expo) to accelerate development and enable OTA updates.
I combine hands-on engineering with product leadership—reviewing PRs, building reusable components, managing engineering teams, and delivering high-availability payments and wallet integrations that handle large transaction volumes and strict regulatory requirements.
