Experience

  • Ape Invaders
    https://apeinvaders.io/

    A P2E NFT game built in the Ethereum blockchain.

    I developed the smart contract to mint ERC721 tokens gas-efficiently and allowed staking and rewards. I used off-chain elements to avoid paying gas fees and created a marketplace where items can be bought using the project custom token.

  • Lazy Lions Collectibles
    https://collectibles.lazylionsnft.com/

    A seasonal NFT collection that rewards Discord referrals with custom ERC1155 tokens. I was responsible for building the front-end and Web3 integration with the Polygon smart contracts. I worked on the functionality that allows for gasless transactions and meta-transactions so the dApp can scale to thousands of transactions per minute.

  • Sourcery DAO
    https://sourcery.space/

    A decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) for projects where you can apply for funding to promote unicycling initiatives. I created the smart contract to handle registration and voting for projects and the website and front-end interface to make interacting with it more user-friendly.

    The smart contract is integrated with third-party systems that allow notifying users via email when projects are submitted, accepted, or rejected by monitoring events live in the blockchain.

  • Dino Babies Shop
    https://www.dinobabies.io/shop

    An NFT project shop that allows holders to purchase virtual items with their custom ERC20 token. I helped develop the front end for the shop page and added the integration to transfer tokens to purchase each individual item. The back end uses an AWS DynamoDB to manage listings.

  • Wealthy Ape Social Club
    https://app.wealthyapesocialclub.com/

    An app to allow ERC721 holders to stake their tokens and earn a custom ERC20 token to be able to spend in the marketplace. I developed the staking contract and the ERC20 token implementation, and the front end Web3 integration using Nuxt and Ethers.js. The staking contract is upgradeable using the UUPS proxy pattern, so it's easier to change in the future.

  • Monke Verse
    https://monkeverse.io/

    An NFT collection based on the Ethereum blockchain. I wrote the smart contracts using ERC721 standards and developed the website's front end to allow people to mint using multiple wallets. I also set up the server infrastructure that could handle over 28 million requests at one point within a few hours while maintaining 100% uptime.

  • The Game Collection
    https://thegamecollection.net/

    A Magento 2 eCommerce website that sells physical and digital games. As the lead front-end developer, I programmed the look and feel of the website. I also integrated the Storyblok headless CMS to allow the client to update content using a user-friendly visual editor.

  • Decorating Centre Online
    https://www.decoratingcentreonline.co.uk/

    An eCommerce website that sells paint, wallpaper, and home improvement hardware. I was on the team that helped develop the front end of the Magento 2-powered online shop. I also helped integrate Algolia to power the product search and listing pages and custom paint and wallpaper finders to provide custom results to visitors looking for specific products.

  • AB Building Products
    https://www.abbuildingproducts.co.uk/

    An eCommerce website focused on supplying building products to public and trade customers. I was on the team that rewrote the front end from scratch to replace the legacy template. I also developed a price calculator using Vue.js and the Magento 2 REST API to display custom pricing based on selected products.
