  • Created from scratch a flight and hotel booking website that accepts cryptocurrency as payment. We have over 3,000 user sign-ups worldwide and achieved $1.5 million worth of flight and hotel bookings in 2019.
  • Watched this startup company grow. When I first joined, I was one of the only two developers on the team. Our product was successful, and it grew fast. Within a year, we were a team of over 30, and I was the front-end lead.
  • Built a payment system, allowing local businesses to accept cryptocurrency as payment. We established with hundreds of merchants and created Australia's first digital currency town where every local business in the city accepts cryptocurrency.

Binance.com | Fiat Deposit Withdraw

https://www.binance.com/en/fiat/deposit/EUR
A React-based project is a function within Binance.com that allow users to deposit or withdraw fiat, non-digital, traditional currencies like EUR and AUD. We have over 700,000 active users and a $5 billion trade volume each week, with a 99.5% order success rate.

My role as the front-end developer is to work with a team of project managers, product designers, back-end developers, third-party providers, quality assurance engineers, security team, and other teams to deliver a fast, secure, responsive, high-quality user interface for a user to place their transactions.

Verified users follow a three-step process to complete their transaction:

1. Users pick their preferred currency and payment method like a bank transfer.
2. We check if they met the requirement, balance, risk rating, and local government compliance, often providing additional forms for users to complete.
3. User confirms the transaction, and we communicate with our third-party provider to complete the transaction.

My role as a front-end lead developer was to work with my front-end team, product manager, designer, tech leads, and back-end developers to create this booking platform.

My responsibilities included delicate tasks for my team members, developments, mentoring junior members, and code reviews.
