NodeJS, React, NextJS, Rust, Go, Postgres, Solidity, Tact

  • Opsin: Created trade feature in the NodeJS/NestJS backend though agregators by exposing a websocket and API endpoints. Worked on blockchain raw data indexing in order to expose blockchain analytics such as candle ticks, transactions, balances, etc. Implemented MEV protection option for users' trades. Developed a Rust-based Solana smart contract for swap integration.
  • PyTON: Solidity/Tact smart contracts and Go-based ZkEVM node to sync Polygon L2 with TON L1.
  • 7k AI: React UI for AI trading chatbot integrated with Cetus DEX on SUI.
  • Tars Staking: Engineered Solana staking and DAO smart contracts in Rust in order to enable users to stake and withdraw rewards, created a private npm library with TypeScript to abstract the complexity of the smart contract interaction. Implemented the frontend using TypeScript with Vite + React for the user interface, alongside Next.js for the admin dashboard. Built Solana indexer using The Graph and Postgres in order to perform complex off-chain calculations.
  • One Balance: Developed ERC-4337 Account Abstraction smart contracts using Solidity, including role-based validation. Created API endpoints in order to create a wallet, predict an address, swap across chains, etc. Integrated endpoints in React application.
  • Runemine: High-performance Bitcoin Runes indexer (Rust/SQLite), NextJS block explorer.
  • Zenrock: Built a cross-chain bridge for SPL tokens using Solidity and Rust. Integrating Cosmos modules via Go to link Bitcoin, Zenrock, and Solana. Unit tests integration using Go and Typescript.
  • Swisstronik: Enhanced blockchain interoperability by contributing to the Swisstronik SDK and developing TypeScript libraries for web3.js and viem compatibility, with example integrations and compliance demos using Solidity and React.
