What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and collaboration in cutting-edge technologies.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with extensive experience in architecting and developing innovative web3-based GameFi projects. Currently, I am working at Alternate States, where I have successfully implemented a robust backend using Node.js and PostgreSQL, ensuring high reliability through advanced fault tolerance mechanisms. My expertise in creating multi-threaded game simulation runners and distributed event-driven systems has significantly enhanced real-time client updates and scalability in gaming environments.

Previously, as a Lead Software Engineer at Narsun Studios, I led a talented cross-functional team in developing multiple GameFi and Metaverse projects. My role involved architecting a modular monolithic backend and integrating NFT marketplaces, which streamlined the purchasing process for users. I am passionate about optimizing development workflows and have successfully implemented CI/CD practices that increased deployment frequency and code quality across projects.
