Junior Blockchain Developer

For five years I worked in mechanical engineering, but it was too equipment-based. I learned I needed more human-focused work. I taught myself writing, and have been nominated by a film festival for a screenplay. I've worked in film and live events, where I found my passion for human coordination. I have since taught myself blockchain development with a focus on the Solidity/Hardhat/Ethers.js/Mocha/Chai/Javascript/React/Next.js/Node.js stack. I have now deployed four projects to testnets: a Universal Basic Information Dashboard system for DAOs and cities, an automated payroll app, a Chainlink price feed aggregator open source helper, and a decentralized crowdfunding escrow platform using Dominant Assurance.

My blockchain development, DAO, DeFi, civic government, and writing experiences have primed me to be a valuable contributor to dApp development in the EVM ecosystem. I am looking to work in decentralized coordination innovation, public goods, and/or the event space.
