Dusk Web Wallet
Dusk – 2023 - 2025As a Frontend Engineer contractor with Dusk, I have contributed to the development of the Dusk Web Wallet, a critical tool for Dusk’s 2024 Mainnet launch. The Wallet addresses privacy challenges in smart contracts while supporting both transparent transactions and privacy-preserving features. Key achievements include implementing a near-instant synchronization, efficient workflows allowing users to get started in under ten seconds, and a seamless ERC20/BEP20 to native DUSK migration flow.
The Web Wallet has transitioned to an open-source model, encouraging community collaboration and innovation. It continues to evolve through iterative updates driven by user feedback, ensuring ongoing improvements in performance and usability. This transformative project underscores Dusk's commitment to delivering cutting-edge, user-centric solutions while fostering transparency and innovation within the blockchain ecosystem.
Dusk Explorer
Dusk – 2024 - 2025I played a pivotal role in the development and release of the Dusk Block Explorer, designed to deliver real-time blockchain insights through an intuitive and responsive interface. Featuring interactive charts, detailed transaction data, and a geographic overview of nodes, the Explorer runs in conjunction with a node to provide real-time insights and serves as a dynamic dashboard for node operators, ensuring seamless interaction with the blockchain.
Recent updates have significantly enhanced its capabilities, including enriched Blocks and Transactions views for deeper insights into network activity. The addition of the Provisioners page provides comprehensive information on staking details, slashes, and rewards, improving transparency and enabling users to better understand the network’s operational framework. Built from the ground up with a focus on high performance and user-centric design, the Block Explorer exemplifies Dusk’s commitment to blockchain innovation and operational excellence.
BWRE Capital Bond Investment Platform
BWRE Capital – May - June 2024I developed the official BWRE Capital website and the front-end of a comprehensive bond investment platform. This platform allows issuers to raise funds by issuing bonds, with proceeds invested in Money Market Funds and/or Italian Tax Credits through an Italy-based Special Purpose Vehicle. The platform integrates Dusk Network BV’s Dusk Token, enabling investors to enhance returns through a structured yield system tiered by the amount of Dusk Tokens held during the bond's tenure, adding sophistication to the investment strategy.
The project was challenging due to the tight delivery timeline and the integration of third-party services like web3modal for crypto wallet management and Onfido for KYC and AML verification. Despite these hurdles, the platform ensures a seamless investment process, featuring a dedicated Portfolio page that provides clear visibility of bond investments and generated yields. Designed for scalability, the system allows for easy expansion of bond offerings, demonstrating technical proficiency and a commitment to a user-centric investment platform.
Couchbase Capella
Couchbase – 2022 - 2023In my capacity as a Product Front End Engineer at Couchbase, I played a key role in evolving Capella, the company's Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) offering, enhancing its functionality across AWS, GCP, and Azure. Assuming product management and leadership roles, my contributions were critical in Capella's strategic overhaul and shift from React to Svelte, alongside the integration of new team members.
During my tenure, our team delivered pioneering innovations, such as Capella iQ, an AI coding assistant, contributing to Capella's recognition as the Best Cloud Data Management Solution for 2023-2024 by the Cloud Awards. My efforts also significantly boosted Couchbase's financial growth, with Capella driving a 23% increase in annual subscription revenue to $142.9 million in fiscal 2023.
Education
Years before moving to the UK, I dedicated myself to excelling in high school to study abroad, aiming for a diverse Software Engineering program. I chose the University of Sheffield, drawn by its location, ranking, and comprehensive curriculum. During my university years, I developed a wide range of skills through academic and extracurricular activities and enhanced my research and independent study capabilities. My devotion culminated in graduating top of my class with the highest distinction, receiving the Mappin Medal, as well as the best dissertation project.
Dissertation Project
University of Sheffield – 2020 - 2021ClimaFever introduces a comprehensive solution for hay fever patients and allergy researchers with its dual-platform offering. The iOS app, market first for its postcode-precise environmental data, provides detailed pollen counts, customized health risks, and updates on air quality and weather, alongside a research-focused questionnaire. Built with SwiftUI and powered by Ambee’s API and ResearchKit, it seamlessly serves users and aids data collection for studies.
For researchers, a Ruby on Rails web application facilitates participant management and data analysis, featuring user management and data export in Excel format. The platform exemplifies cutting-edge technologies used in healthcare research, evidenced by their adoption in institutions like Stanford and Johns Hopkins Universities.
View ReportIndustrial Placement
GE Aerospace – 2019 - 2020During my year at GE Aerospace, as a Firmware Engineer on the Boeing 777X project, I significantly improved efficiency by redesigning a compiler that reduced compile time from 8 hours to 25 minutes, enhancing client productivity. I also adapted a .NET Framework codebase to evolving project needs and developed an advanced automated Test Framework that was integrated into the CI/CD pipeline, improving the development process.
The placement year was insightful, clarifying my career aspirations. I discovered a preference for dynamic settings over formal, long-term projects. Despite this, I gained firsthand experience in working in a highly-regulated, safety-critical environment. The internship honed my adaptability, decision-making skills, and reaffirmed my resilience in facing new challenges.
