Factor is a no-code middleware platform for DeFi that allows users to create, automate, and manage complex on-chain strategies through a modular, drag-and-drop interface. I led a team of four frontend engineers in delivering a seamless user experience across all digital touchpoints. Owned and maintained three large-scale codebases built with Next.js, TypeScript, and React. Focused on engineering high-performance UI for complex DeFi workflows and analytical dashboards. Integrated wallets, including MetaMask, WalletConnect, and Gnosis Safe. Leveraged RPC, Subgraphs, Tenderly, and Sentio for blockchain data indexing and debugging. Conducted code reviews to ensure security, performance, and maintainability.

Alto (formerly Tapioca) is a decentralized protocol that allows users to borrow, lend, and mint the DUSD stablecoin against yield-bearing collateral to earn rewards. I collaborated with the UX team to design and implement seamless, high-performance user interfaces across the entire product suite. Maintained a TypeScript - Next.js codebase. Created the Storybook brand design library. Built a complex and versatile transaction flow. Worked with RPC, Subgraph, wallets, Tenderly. Created highly animated, responsive landing pages for marketing purposes.

I defined and built interactive and 3D experiences. I work on Game Design Documents and prototype ideas through THREEjs/WebXR, or Unity gaming engine. Crafted immersive real-time experiences with THREE.js / React Three Fiber. Designed and implemented XR experiences for Oculus devices with Unity. Optimized complex assets and shaders (draw calls, FPS, memory usage). Adjusted 3D models, materials, UVs.

Bridged the gap between design and technology by streamlining studio workflows through technical consultancy, feasibility modeling, and rapid prototyping. I spearheaded the R&D of emerging technologies, successfully mentoring design teams to expand their technical capabilities. Additionally, I managed the end-to-end production of digital artifacts and led external development partners to ensure high-fidelity delivery aligned with the original design vision. Rapidly prototyped UX solutions to prove ideas. Championed the design vision throughout the implementation phase, ensuring technical execution remained faithful. Architected scalable Design Systems and Component libraries to ensure brand consistency across all digital touchpoints and platforms. Implemented headless CMS solutions using Storyblok and DatoCMS to decouple content management from the presentation layer. Automated quality assurance by developing end-to-end testing suites with Cypress.

Setup and development of full stack architectures based on JavaScript with Node and React SSR. Development of highly creative or interactive content SPAs through the use of modern tools such as Typescript, ES2015+, React, Redux, RxJS, CSS Modules, and WebGL. Coordination of technical peer reviews for criticality analysis and continuous improvement.
