Project History
Mempool Watcher
This is a novel web3 integrated mempool and on-chain monitoring a response system developed for Coinbase. I utilized a React front end and a Node.js/TypeScript back end with a DynamoDB database and API hosted on AWS. This project has allowed blockchain security throughout the organization to identify and respond to Web3-related threats before they happen.
Brave Browser
https://brave.com/Assisted in developing an open source, a privacy-centric browser that rewards users in cryptocurrency for the right to advertise to them. Worked with a team of over 50 open source contributors to collaborate on development, bug fixes, and Git issues.
Disney+ Clone
This is a clone of the Disney+ website, complete with reactive login functionality and live content. I built this project to experiment and deepen my understanding of styled components and Firebase architecture. The app is built with a React-Redux front end on a Node.js back end and features a Firebase JSON (NoSQL) database.
