Senior Backend developer
A decentralized broadband network that enables users to share internet capacity, effectively becoming their own providers. By combining protocol and hardware, it creates a trustless, on-chain system for user-owned connectivity.

- Developed Solana Rust smart contracts using Anchor in order to allow customers to register devices, create plans and pay for subscriptions;
- Developed replicable local environment for smart contract interaction using Typescript;
- Worked on Go backend in order to expose API to customers, stream data from different services using NATS, listen to Smart contract events and update customer data;
- Migrated Rust backend to Go keeping the same API;
- Created private Go library in order to share avoid code duplication across services.

Senior Blockchain Developer, Senior Solidity Developer, Senior Full-Stack Developer
A hybrid, chain-agnostic blockchain focused on identity and compliance, enabling Web3 and traditional companies to launch KYC-, AML-, and DPR-compliant applications with enhanced data privacy; supports both EVM and Cosmos.
- Contributed to the open source Swisstronik SDK in order to expose the blockchain interaction using TypeScript;
- Created an open-source web3.js-compatible library using TypeScript in order to enable interaction with web3.js;
- Created an open source viem compatible library using TypeScript in order to enable interaction with viem;
- Developed examples using Solidity to demo the swisstronik core functionality;
- Developed React templates with third-party compliance services such as Worldcoin, Quadrata, and Nexera.
