What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead front-end engineering for blockchain/DeFi products—shipping scalable, performant dApps with strong UX, accessibility, and internationalization—while collaborating closely with smart contract teams and mentoring engineers.

I’m a Lead Front-End Engineer with over 5 years of experience building scalable, performant, and user-centric web applications in the blockchain and DeFi space. I lead front-end engineering for stablecoin dApps, collaborating with smart contract engineers on Solidity contracts and integrating on-chain logic.

At Mento Labs and before that at Uniswap Labs and OKX Exchange, I engineered and maintained complex front-end interfaces (v3 & v4), optimized transaction flows, and improved user experience through performance work and accessibility/internationalization. I’ve mentored a team of 4 engineers, introduced automated testing pipelines, and supported key DeFi features like stablecoin peg mechanism and collateralization ratio design discussions.
