I've been working as a software engineer since 2014. My very first job out of school was building a stress test simulator for btcd, an alternative Bitcoin client implementation. I spent 4 years developing Kubernetes, then moved to work full-time in crypto. First, I built products for Sygnum, one of the first fully regulated banks in the world to offer crypto products to customers, and later I joined Toucan Protocol to take over the design and development of the protocol smart contracts (carbon tokenization deployed on various L2s such as Base and Celo).
What makes me great is that I have experience developing and deploying various applications in production; from Kubernetes/Openshift clusters, to CI infrastructure, to banking products, to onchain protocols.
