What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, focusing on impactful projects in blockchain and AI.

I am a Lead Frontend Engineer with over 5 years of experience specializing in building blockchain-powered applications and AI/LLM integrations. My journey has been marked by a commitment to delivering scalable solutions, particularly in the realms of React Native and multi-chain DApps. I have a strong track record of engaging in innovative projects that integrate Web3 and AI to address real-world challenges, ensuring data transparency and compliance.

At Aleh, I lead the development of blockchain and AI solutions, mentoring a team of over 8 developers and driving milestone delivery through Agile workflows. My architectural contributions to multi-chain DApps have enabled over 50,000 transactions while significantly reducing transaction fees. I have also developed an offline AI/LLM browser engine that achieves impressive inference latency, showcasing my ability to push the boundaries of technology.

Previously, I scaled Kelp Finance to over 2 million wallets by migrating to a modular architecture and integrating cross-chain functionalities. My experience spans various roles, where I have consistently focused on enhancing application performance and security, ensuring that my contributions not only meet but exceed client expectations.
