Helped build a completely new course on the Flow blockchain, and also helped on an upcoming project based on IPFS. But what I loved doing the most was interacting with 100s of developers who're starting to migrate to blockchain development, directly, by clearing their doubts & helping them complete & build Buildspace projects on the Ethereum, Solana & Flow blockchain.

About

Specializing in building high-throughput, low-latency financial systems. Currently, at Citibank, I develop front-office trading applications that handle millions of global trades daily, alongside high-performance middleware and internal trading tools. My expertise spans the entire development lifecycle, combining frontend precision (React, 3Forge) with optimized backend architecture (Java, Spring Boot, AMPs) and cloud-native DevOps pipelines (Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift).
