ABOUT ME
Fullstack web developer with 15 year experience. Ask me anything web3.
Fullstack web developer with 15 year experience. Ask me anything web3.

I am a seasoned software developer with extensive experience in full-stack development and Web3 integration, specializing in building scalable, high-performance applications. As Co-Founder and CTO of Tela Network, I led the creation of a micro-consulting chat platform that combines blockchain-based payments with Stripe, allowing users to monetize their expertise. My role encompasses frontend and backend architecture, smart contract development with Solidity, and task queue implementation using Redis. I work extensively with React, TypeScript, Python (Django and FastAPI), and cloud solutions on AWS and Digital Ocean to deliver seamless user experiences and scalable microservice architectures.

Prior to Tela, I contributed to various impactful projects across industries, including leading frontend development for a DeFi platform at Voltz, designing user interfaces for enterprise applications at Utility Warehouse, and enhancing Shopify integrations at CartHook. My technical expertise spans modern frameworks and tools like Node.js, Docker, Kubernetes, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Ethereum, and TheGraph. With a strong academic background in engineering and astrophysics, I bring a problem-solving mindset and a passion for innovative, data-driven solutions to every project I undertake.
