About Me
The Engineer Behind the Product
I'm a frontend engineer who owned the entire front-end at a blockchain startup for 2.5 years. Cross-chain bridge interfaces, swap flows via Enso integration, investment dashboards with portfolio tracking, multi-step async transaction components, and ERC-4626 vault integrations across Movement, Berachain, and Hyperliquid strategies. If users interacted with it, I built it.
At Raga Finance (formerly Nexus Network), I was the first engineer in a 3-person team. I worked daily with Wagmi, RainbowKit, and Alchemy smart accounts, implementing account abstraction (EIP-7702) to batch multi-step transactions into single clicks. When we had no designer, I built Figma mockups with our CEO before coding them. The company raised $1M in pre-seed funding after our ETH Online 2023 hackathon win.
I've participated in over 10 hackathons and won 3 of them, including a solo project that earned a $10K bounty. I'm now looking to broaden my impact beyond Web3 , applying my production frontend experience to enterprise products at scale and growing into a fullstack engineer.
