Software Developer And Technical Lead

I'm a Software Developer and Technical Lead. I have over a decade of experience in both software engineering and product management. My recent experience includes working on blockchain-related companies like Web3Pro and The Sandbox Game, and previously, playing a key role from the early growth to a successful exit of an AI tech startup. My projects have spanned developing a whitelabel SaaS NFT Marketplace, leading the NFT Marketplace of The Sandbox Game, developing an AI chatbot platform and implementing FinTech solutions in the Americas. Though my current stack as a developer is Typescript and Node.js, my technical skills cover a broad range of programming languages and frameworks, with a focus on delivering practical, user-centered solutions. Having worked in various roles, I’m currently more inclined towards engineering, eager to apply my skills in new contexts and learn from the challenges ahead. Open to new connections and collaborations. Let's connect!
