Bringing Ideas to Life Through Code and Innovation...

Blockchain Software Engineer

Berlin, Germany (Remote)

Aug 2024 - Present

Leading the development of the polkadot.js ecosystem — a critical suite of tools and libraries enabling developers to build and interact with Substrate-based blockchains. These open-source utilities, including APIs, UI components, and browser extension, are widely adopted across nearly every project in the Polkadot ecosystem, playing a crucial role in enabling seamless blockchain connectivity and interaction.

Built Otro — a decentralized application (dApp) powered by Substrate Smart Accounts, enabling seamless Web3 interactions and identity abstraction. Otro enables multiple aliases for Polkadot Accounts. Users can manage their Smart Accounts by providing valid signatures from any of the registered aliases.

Designed and developed XCM Tracer from the ground up — a real-time tool for tracking XCM extrinsics across parachains in the Polkadot ecosystem. It offers simultaneous visibility into both source and destination data, eliminating the need to switch between multiple blockchain explorers.

Built the NFT Badges dApp as a proof of work for BlockDeep Labs for successful delivery of in-depth code reviews and advisory services to Polkadot ecosystem teams. These services, funded by the Polkadot treasury, ensured high-quality, secure, and efficient development — supporting the growth and innovation of Polkadot-based projects.

Designed and developed the BlockDeep website from the ground up, delivering a fully responsive and production-ready user experience.

Blockchain Software Engineer

Revamped UI & Boosted Trading Activity Led the complete overhaul of the Polkadex Orderbook dApp's UI, introducing an intuitive and seamless trading experience. This redesign resulted in a 120% increase in new user registrations and an 80% surge in trading activity, attracting 1,000+ new traders to the platform.

Facilitated Cross-Chain Interoperability Implemented the cross-chain bridge transfer system with Polkadot XCM capability, enabling users to seamlessly bring assets from other parachains to trade on the Polkadex Orderbook. This feature improved interoperability and contributed to a 40% increase in trading volume, enhancing liquidity and user accessibility.

Optimized Real-Time Data Fetching & Performance Developed frontend features to fetch and render real-time trading data from AWS AppSync using GraphQL APIs. This significantly improved data accuracy and responsiveness, enhancing the trading experience for nearly 2,000 active users. The optimizations led to faster load times, seamless order execution, and an overall more robust trading interface.

Enhanced Codebase for Performance & Maintainability Migrated the React codebase to Next.js, improving performance with server-side rendering and static generation. Introduced Tailwind CSS enabled components by replacing styled-components for better styling management, enhancing efficiency and consistency across the dApp.

Enhanced State Management & Wallet Integration Refactored state handling by replacing Redux Saga with React Context and TanStack Query, reducing complexity and improving maintainability. Additionally, resolved critical wallet integration issues, ensuring smooth cryptocurrency transactions and strengthening platform stability.
