Senior Blockchain Engineer
I'm a web3 developer specialized in writing Smart contracts. I have 5+ years of working on software development projects. 2 of those years were balanced between project management and software development mostly for crypto-related projects.
I'm mostly a backend guy but I also have some experience working on frontend as well.
Even though I live in Brazil (GMT-3) I have been working for US clients for over 3 years and the timezone is not an issue for me (hopefully not for you as well). Let's schedule a call, I might be able to help your business : )
