Full Stack Web3 Engineer Backed First

Senior engineer with 10+ years building distributed, event-driven systems - now focused on Web3. Hands-on blockchain experience via Golem Factory (ERC-20 on-chain payments, decentralized compute network) and a cross-chain intent solver portfolio project (Solidity, Go, React). Strong background in real-time event systems, WebSocket infrastructure, and multi-service backends directly transferable to chain event listening, execution layers, and protocol engineering. Backend-first (Go + Node.js), full-stack capable.

Experience

TypeScript Engineer (Backend + React)
ERLI S.A.
2025 - 2026
Building backend integration services in TypeScript for supplier and partner data sync, mapping, and reliability. Designing and maintaining REST APIs consumed by internal teams and partner systems. Working in a Kubernetes environment; supporting production debugging and reliability improvements. Contributing to internal admin tooling in React (feature work + API/UI integration).
Integrations, Internal Platforms & AI Pipelines
Wonder Tech
2024 - 2025
Owned replatforming of legacy PHP monolith to modular multitenant Node.js services on AWS (EC2 + Serverless). Rebuilt event-driven bidding engine in Node.js for 5k+ concurrent users with WebSocket scaling - real-time event propagation and state management directly analogous to chain event listener architectures. Delivered an in-house EventSourced PIM using AWS Serverless and OpenSearch, exposed via REST API. Introduced flexible inter-service communication using REST APIs, gRPC, and SNS/SQS. Implemented DDD practices and domain-oriented design patterns at service and system level.
Backend TypeScript Engineer (Contract)
GenTrack Ltd
2023 - 2024
Built and maintained backend microservices in TypeScript for smart-meter billing workflows. Implemented AWS Lambda functions connected with SQS queues for reliable async data processing. Coded and optimized billing and pricing algorithms for smart-meter (IoT) data, processing millions of readings daily. Delivered under high SLA and reliability requirements.
Senior Software Engineer
Golem Factory
2022 - 2023
Maintained @golem-sdk/golem-js - the official TypeScript SDK for a decentralized compute marketplace where payments are settled on-chain via GLM (ERC-20, Ethereum + Polygon). Led a full rebuild of the SDK public API - no official documentation available, so the new architecture was grounded in reverse-engineering event schemas and internal contracts directly from the yagna daemon's Rust source code. Defined TypeScript contracts for the low-level SDK layer based on undocumented yagna internals; built high-level abstractions on top, shielding application developers from raw WebSocket event handling. Owned the full release pipeline: Rollup bundling, NPM package publishing, semantic-release versioning, and GitHub Actions CI/CD ensuring safe weekly releases. Built an interactive React playground visualizing live event flow across all three system layers (Golem Network nodes → yagna daemon → SDK) - enabling developers to understand low- and high-level event propagation without reading source code. Supported partner teams integrating the SDK; gathered community feedback from Discord/GitHub and translated it directly into API design decisions.

Senior Software Engineer (Contractor)
SfMeble.pl
2018 - 2020
Returned to lead modernization of the core platform - decomposed legacy monolith into domain-oriented services (PIM, Stock/ETA, OMS, Back Office). Rebuilt inventory, stock/ETA, and order management systems with clear bounded contexts and shared contracts. Bridged business and technology - translated commercial use cases into actionable technical designs.
Senior Software Engineer
Venditan
2017 - 2017
Built a React + Electron EPOS desktop app integrated with Venditan's e-commerce platform. Implemented offline-first caching, automatic sync, and multi-store configuration. Integrated Verifone ECM payment terminals (device handshake, card vaulting, receipt printing).
