Co-founded Edge, an all-in-one DeFi trading platform ('Your Gateway to DeFi') delivering swaps, limit orders, smart trading bots, charts, trend discovery, and watch-lists in a single responsive web & mobile app. Led design and implementation of the customer-facing stack: Next.js front-end and a Node.js backend, integration with on-chain smart-contracts for Ethereum & Solana, with plug-in architecture for additional chains. Created one-click sniper and copy-trading bots with MEV-resistant execution, and real-time scam-token filtering—processing 50k+ automated trades in the first six months. Shipped advanced order types (buy-low, take-profit, trailing stop-loss) via off-chain orderbook and on-chain executors, cutting average slippage by 18% versus leading Telegram bots. Integrated fiat on-ramp partners that reduced first-trade onboarding to <5 minutes; scaled to 500+ MAUs and facilitated $500k in cumulative volume pre-seed.

Joined as 4th engineer and quickly promoted to lead the frontend guild of 5 (3 developers, designer, test engineer), taking ownership of hiring, team development, and technical direction. Took over bond issuance platform from external development agency, then led two major migrations: first to Solana-based ecosystem, then to Next.js architecture in its early adoption phase. Architected and shipped the first regulated on-chain bond platform under Swiss law, managing both technical delivery and team growth while collaborating on product vision that secured Series A funding. Collaborated daily with CTO and CPO on product strategy, technical roadmap, and execution priorities, contributing to key decisions that shaped platform direction and market positioning. Managed day-to-day team communication, workload distribution, and sprint priorities to deliver consistent product value while fostering a collaborative and supportive team culture.
