Roger Reep
@rogerreep
Senior software engineer specializing in blockchain and backend development.
What I'm looking for
I'm a seasoned software engineer with a B.S. in Computer Engineering and a minor in Computer Science from Kaplan Singapore. Over the past eight years, I've honed my skills in blockchain and backend development, focusing on distributed systems and smart contracts. My experience spans various programming languages, including Go, Solidity, and Python, and I have a strong foundation in algorithms and data structures.
In my most recent role as a Senior Go Engineer at bloXroute, I was responsible for implementing critical services that enable users to submit private transactions and build MEV bots for arbitrage detection. My work involved modifying Geth to create a bloXroute node and deploying it on both testnet and mainnet. Previously, as a Senior Protocol Engineer at LayerZero, I contributed to designing a future-proof architecture for messaging protocols and developed smart contracts for message transmission across EVM chains.
My journey began at Goldman Sachs, where I implemented backend systems using C# and Azure, significantly improving the speed of processing real-time data. I also contributed to frontend development using React.js, creating a high-traffic customer-facing website. I thrive in collaborative environments and am passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex problems.
