Work Experience

Engineering Manager, DevOps and Blockchain

2022 - PRESENT
The People's Movement Corp.
  • Built a protocol for locking liquidity, NFTs, and multi-tokens, securing over $100 million in assets, deployed across 12 chains, including Ethereum, BSC, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism.
  • Used LangChain/LangGraph to build multi-agent AI-based apps, using OpenAI and Anthropic as a large language model (LLM). Used n8n for prototyping AI solutions.

TokenFi AI Gen Studio

https://aigenstudio.tokenfi.com
Built with React, Node.js, and TypeScript, and hosted in Kubernetes on AWS using Argo CD, Helm, and Docker, it uses Gemini models to generate art with customized styles, supporting negative prompts and references. Unleash creativity with AI-designed, one-of-a-kind NFT artwork.

TokenFi Launchpad

https://lp.tokenfi.com/
Built with React, Node.js, and TypeScript, hosted in Kubernetes on AWS using Argo CD, Helm, and Docker, and featuring Solidity smart contracts deployed across 10+ EVM chains using EIP-2535 (diamonds), this launchpad platform enables on-chain presales for early-stage blockchain projects.

FlokiFi Locker

https://locker.flokifi.com
A decentralized application that allows people to lock crypto-based assets such as tokens, NFTs, and multi-tokens across 12 different chains—including Ethereum, BSC, Avalanche, and Polygon—within smart contracts. The protocol has features for automatically liquidating LP tokens for fees, swapping by stablecoins via a DEX, swapping a portion of the fees by FLOKI, and burning it to remove it from circulation.

Staking App

https://staking.floki.com
A Next.js app with smart contracts written in Solidity, where users can stake a token A and earn token B as a reward based on their share from the staking pool.

The rewards are calculated based on multipliers that are affected by how long and how many tokens are being staked.

Users receive an NFT when staking, and only the NFT holder can claim rewards and unstake their tokens, so users can easily transfer the NFT to a new wallet or even sell it in marketplaces.

Token Launcher

This app allows anyone to create their own token (ERC-20, NFT, ERC-1155) by following a wizard-like process, where they can configure fees, burn, reflection, liquidity, minting, and upload images (for NFTs).

NFT Minter DApp

I created this containerized Next.js Web3 app where users can mint NFTs from the Hybrid Collection and upgrade them by selecting unique character traits such as clothing, eyes, weapons, background scenario, and change colors, with an option to see a preview image in real-time. I provisioned the infrastructure on AWS using Terraform.

The NFT smart contract was created with Rust and deployed on the MultiversX (Elrond) blockchain. The initial collection has 5,000 images randomly generated and uploaded to IPFS.

NFT Marketplace

A Next.js app deployed through Serverless Framework on AWS using S3, Lambda, and CloudFront, with Smart Contracts written in Solidity that allows users to mint NFTs (ERC721), storing the art and associated metadata in IPFS. Other users can then buy the NFT from the seller.

Minting an NFT and listing for sale requires a fee + gas, requiring a connected wallet such as MetaMask.

This app is a prototype created as a proof of concept.

Digital Assets Marketplace

A Next.js app that allows users to create digital assets and sell a limited number of stakes from it. Users can purchase stakes up to the seller's available amount.

Assets are immutable, so the initial total stakes can't be edited by the seller, essentially making it a scarce digital asset. Listing stakes is free but requires paying gas to the network, requiring a connected wallet such as MetaMask.

This app is a prototype created as a proof of concept.

Bolao de Futebol

I started this app in 2015. It allows people passionate about soccer to create private groups to challenge each other and bet on match scores.

I set up the infrastructure on AWS, created the back and front end of the app with PWA support, and implemented CI/CD using Jenkins. Eventually, I hired a small team of freelance to help me add new features, run ads, and post content on social media.

It grew from zero to 11,000 registered users and 500 concurrent users during peak times.

Twitter UI

This is a sample project reproducing Twitter's design. It contains a timeline, a trends list, a "Who to follow?" section, and the current user stats.

The interesting part is that it was done using Angular 9 with plain CSS, in other words, without using Material, Bootstrap, nor other UI libraries.

It relies on Flexbox for the styling and uses a couple of services with mock HTTP requests for the actual data. It also uses about 13 components.

There are no major features other than the "Switch User" button on the top right corner, that will load data simulating a different logged-in user.

Volvo Cars Test Drive

A React-based app to allow booking a test drive with a Volvo car across multiple dealerships.

I participated in product design meetings, collaborated with the UX team on user flow and features, implemented back-end endpoints, and helped in the front-end implementation and deployment in the Kubernetes clusters.

Lending Product

https://lendingmate.ca/en-CA/
A lending platform that allows people to borrow money with a guarantor.

I was responsible for making integrations with multiple payment gateways as the product was launched in various countries (the current project URL is for Canada) with different currencies and protocols, e.g., ACH/EFT/SEPA. I used SDKs in the front end for tokenizing credit cards and bank accounts and set up back-end jobs to take recurrent payments on a schedule using the user's preferred payment method.

I also used supervised learning (machine learning) to run some credit score analysis with Python and Jupyter Notebooks while collaborating with finance experts to pick the correct variables, tune parameters and classify whether applicants are likely to repay the loan.

eCommerce B2B Platform

https://corebridge.net
CoreBridge provides a B2B platform that helps businesses launch their own customizable eCommerce store.

The platform grew quickly. It started to have performance issues with more customers, and some requests were failing due to thread starvation.

I helped solve this issue by fixing the back end to use async/await to stop blocking threads and refactoring the way HTTP client connections with external services were handled to avoid socket connection exhaustion.

I also containerized back-end microservices that required an environment with proprietary software. I helped implement Customer Canvas to allow end-users shopping in the eCommerce environment to customize products, such as uploading a custom logo for buying t-shirts.

Speed Click - Unity3D Game

https://github.com/AlissonRS/speed-click-unity3d
A simple game created with Unity3D and C# where users are given multiple cards and need to pick which one solves the puzzle. The faster they are, the higher the scores, but picking the wrong card gives a score penalty.

Jumpstart Template for Node.js, Express.js, AWS Lambda, MongoDB Atlas, and Serverless

https://github.com/AlissonRS/node-aws-lambda
This is a template I created to quickly get started with Node.js and Express.js, using the Serverless Framework CLI to deploy infrastructure as code, such as AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and CloudWatch alarms.

It comes with a basic set up, like routing, JWT authentication, using Passport.js. This sample controller uses Mongoose to fetch data from MongoDB, seed logic for MongoDB and all the boilerplate for running it on AWS Lambda.

TokenFi Nimbus

https://www.tokenfi.com/nimbus
Built with React, Node.js, and TypeScript, hosted in Kubernetes on AWS using Argo CD, Helm, and Docker, and deploying Solidity smart contracts across several EVM chains, this app allows users to run large-scale token airdrops to millions of users by leveraging cryptographic proofs via a Merkle tree with on-chain validation.
