Led partner integrations end-to-end, from technical scoping to production deployment, as primary liaison between external teams and internal engineering. Ran 6+ hackathons and developer activations (ETHGlobal Cannes, ETH Lisbon, Encode, Fork That Chain Bootcamp), converting participants into active ecosystem builders. Authored SDK guides, quickstarts, tutorials, and technical blog posts to reduce developer friction and accelerate time-to-first-build. Provided technical support: code reviews, debugging sessions, and integration guidance for partners deploying on fully Ethereum-compatible infrastructure. Instrumented developer funnel metrics (Google Analytics, Simple Analytics, HelpScout, Google Forms) to track content engagement, support tickets, hackathon conversion, and developer feedback. Managed developer support channels; surfaced reproducible bugs and prioritised product feedback to engineering. Spoke at conferences (ETH Lisbon, ETHCC Paris) and ecosystem events, delivering technical talks and live demos. Tracked Ethereum protocol upgrades and ensured full EVM compatibility, updating developer documentation and tooling accordingly. Reviewed applicants and provided technical support for Aurora Blocks, an incubator/grant programme for projects launching custom chains on Aurora Cloud. Built developer tooling and cross-chain prototypes, including smart contracts on Bitcoin via NEAR Chain Signatures.

Developed, deployed, and maintained a company-wide data annotation service used across engineering teams. Built and operated data pipelines and APIs serving production workloads at scale. Designed quality measurement systems for grammar error correction algorithms.

Led a team of developers building an enterprise adaptive learning platform. Built a functional reactive programming framework used as core product infrastructure. Owned delivery of UI/UX features and backend systems across product lifecycle. Mentored team members on architecture and engineering best practices.
