My journey into tech started long before blockchain. I come from a background in STEM, and I've always loved experimenting, from building robots and mini-satellites to making objects levitate with sound waves. That same curiosity now drives me to explore what's possible in tech.

Since 2017, I've been an active part of hackathons and developer contests across ecosystems like DeSo, Ethereum, Tezos, Polygon, and Arweave, earning more than a dozen prizes along the way. One of my favourite projects, DumDumDeploy, started as a hackathon submission and eventually evolved into Arlink.xyz, a major deployment tool in the Arweave ecosystem.

I have extensive experience of web development, my primary stack revolves around React, NextJS, TypeScript, and TailwindCSS, but I’m also comfortable working across the full frontend ecosystem

Beyond coding, I’m equally invested in product thinking and community building. As
the founder of BetterIDEa (acquired by Forward Research), I’ve designed and shipped products that help developers build on Arweave with ease- from tools like APM and Visual AO that simplify dapp development. These experiences have shaped how I think about scalability, modularity, and design systems that empower both users and developers.
