Nito-Labs 

May 2022 - Present

Nito-Labs is an innovative European startup operating on the Ethereum blockchain. My key contributions include:

• Backend Development: Designed and implemented a sophisticated backend system using Golang to meticulously track all Ethereum blockchain movements. This system utilizes message brokers (RabbitMQ) and over 30 consumers and publishers to handle the vast influx of data.
• Blockchain Data Aggregation: Developed and deployed a comprehensive solution for monitoring and tracking each Ethereum block. This involved extracting and aggregating data to provide users with customized insights regarding their investments across various protocols such as Uniswap, Balancer, Compound, Aave, sDAI, and stETH. We used influxDB for storing our time-series data.
• Activity Tracking: Engineered a robust activity tracking system to monitor all user interactions within the app and related blockchain activities. This feature enhances the user experience by providing detailed analytics and insights.
• Consultation and Leadership: Actively contributed to frontend development by consulting and co-leading the team. Responsibilities included code reviews, stack selection, and ensuring best practices to deliver high-quality, maintainable code.

Lumenswap

August 2021 - May 2022

Lumenswap is a decentralized application on the Stellar network.
Together over the span of one year, we developed 8 application on the Lumenswap platform with the most important and complex one being the cross-chain bridge that supports bringing Ethereum, Solidity and Bitcoin to the Stellar chain.

I started my work as a full stack developer meaning I worked on both backend and frontend of our first few apps. After our frontend team was fully trained I switched to mostly backend development.

We used NextJS alongside tools like Redux in our frontend. 
Our backend was written with NodeJS with a functional architecture. We used Sequelize as the ORM for our Postgres database. 

Our final application, the cross chain bridge was built using Golang. We needed strict compile time type saftey and performance. The system consists of multiple jobs and processes that work together to ensure user funds are safe when transferring to the Stellar blockchain. We tried to use TDD for developing this product because of the sensitivity of the features and prevention of the loss of user funds.

The project currently is in maintenance mode.
