In addition to building innovative and technically robust products, particularly in the blockchain space, I've actively contributed to the developer community by creating in-depth blog tutorials, producing educational YouTube videos, and hosting a variety of hands-on workshops.

My content ranges from beginner-friendly walkthroughs to advanced development guides, all aimed at making complex ideas more accessible.

Projects

Calimero Console

Calimero Console is a web application for managing private blockchains built on Calimero Infrastructure (NEAR Protocol shards). The app provides detailed information about the network, including statistics, explorer data, and tools for managing blockchain operations like accounts, smart contracts, RPCs, validators, and nodes.

As a Fullstack Software Engineer, I designed and implemented features including a blockchain explorer, a DApp marketplace, a network dashboard, a smart contract management tool, role-based access control, and a web SDK for building DApps on private shards.

Curb Chat

Curb Chat is the first chat application of its kind to run both the frontend and backend fully on the blockchain. Using NEAR Portal and the NEAR Virtual Machine (NVM) to turn the code into a real, working application that connects both parts on-chain.

Through our community, we successfully onboarded 6 DAOs. We also became the official chat platform for Nearcon 2024, which led to over 1,200 wallets connecting to Calimero Chat.

As the Lead Frontend Engineer, I helped turn the design and ideas into a real product. I built features like private chats, group messaging, markdown support, and image sharing using IPFS.

Cross-Shard Tic Tac Toe DApp

This web application was a simple showcase of how cross-shard communication can be enabled to send and receive blockchain transactions from NEAR Protocol testnet to a Calimero private shard. The game is started on testnet, played privately in the Calimero shard, and the outcome is displayed on testnet—making the result provable while keeping the game data hidden from outside viewers.

As part of this project I created the application end-to-end, writing a blog post, and producing video tutorials explaining the implementation.

Xanadu Technologies Tokenization

As the founder of the project, I led the research, design, and development of a platform focused on bringing real-world assets—specifically real estate—onto the blockchain. The core idea was to represent physical properties as tokenized assets in the form of NFTs on the NEAR Protocol, allowing for secure, transparent, and verifiable ownership and transfer of real estate on-chain.

I managed a team of four, overseeing frontend and backend development, SEO optimization, and marketing strategy. My role included defining the product vision, coordinating across technical and non-technical areas, and ensuring the project stayed aligned with its goals from concept to launch.

Binance Smart Chain ERC20 Bridge

The ERC20 Token Bridge is a project that includes both a user bridge and an admin dashboard for transferring ERC20 tokens from Binance Smart Chain to Cosmos Chain. As a Fullstack Software Engineer, I built end-to-end both user bridge and admin dashboard, allowing users to transfer multiple tokens while also implementing a plug-in system to easily add new tokens and blockchains to the bridge.

The admin dashboard web application featured a comprehensive management interface with functionalities such as transaction history, whitelist and blacklist management, bridge statistics, bridge funds management, role-based access controls, and multisignature capabilities for token transfers and treasury management.

Bling

As a co-founder of the project, I worked alongside my fellow co-founder to lead and coordinate a team of five in building a platform for freelance cleaners.

The goal was to connect cleaning service providers with clients in a simple and efficient way, making it easier for both sides to find and offer trusted services.

DeFi Koala

DeFi Koala is a wrapper around modern DeFi protocols with the goal of simplifying complex DeFi applications into a one-click product. The platform aims to make decentralized finance more accessible to users by streamlining the process of interacting with various DeFi services.

As a Frontend Developer, I was responsible for the design and feature research. I created an informational landing page and revamped the frontend design for the available product, ensuring a smooth user experience and clear communication of the platform's features.

P2P Nodes & Self Solverign Application

P2P Nodes are a product designed to enable private peer-to-peer communication, giving data ownership back to users. This platform allows users to securely manage their data while ensuring privacy and control over their communications.

As a Fullstack Software Engineer, I was responsible for developing the backend API to manage node configurations, contexts, and applications. I also created an admin dashboard UI to simplify node management. Additionally, I built example demo applications and a web SDK helper to assist with integration and usage.

P2P Nodes Blockchain Integrations

P2P Nodes Blockchain Integrations is a feature project that enables blockchain calls, including query, mutate, and token transfers, directly from P2P applications. This allows for seamless interaction with various blockchains within the P2P environment.

As a Backend Engineer, I was responsible for integrating JSON-RPC calls into the P2P nodes, generalizing query and mutate calls for specific blockchains. This included successful integrations with Stellar, Internet Computer, Starknet, and Ethereum.
