Front End Developer

Web3 Developer

Senior Frontend Engineer with 15+ years of experience building large-scale product platforms, Design Systems and frontend infrastructure across FinTech, Web3, AI and SaaS products. The last 7 years focused on crypto products: 10M+ users at Paxful, several million traders at 3Commas and 2.5M users at NoOnes.

Shipped wallet integrations, transaction flows, billing and subscriptions in crypto context, automated trading tools, orderbook, onramp / offramp, dashboards and multi-chain payment widgets using React, TypeScript,

Next.js, React Native, wagmi, viem and ethers.js.

Comfortable across the full crypto product surface: wallet state, network state, transaction lifecycle (pending / success / failure / retry / wrong network), real-time trading UI, payment display flows and high-trust financial UX. Reduced database costs by 20% with Redis caching, introduced Centrifugo for real-time updates.

Open to remote / hybrid EU and remote-global crypto roles where frontend quality directly affects user trust and product reliability. I use AI daily β€” Claude Code for everyday code, LLMs in product workflows and AI-assisted automation at SDG Lab.
