I've had the great opportunity to contribute to a wide range of projects, from small startups and mobile apps to large enterprises and opensource blockchain projects. Here's an overview of my path, highlighting my experiences so far.
Waves Foundation
Full stack engineer, Oct 2019 - Sep 2023
My journey with Waves Foundation was diverse, blending development and product ownership. I played a key role in launching the developer experience on the Waves platform. This effort involved creating and deploying library kits for developer community, aimed at standardizing the experience within the Waves ecosystem.
Another significant project was the Waves IDE, a web-based integrated development environment for the Waves blockchain, built using React, TypeScript, and the Monaco Editor for a VS Code-like coding experience.
In addition to these key projects, I also contributed to the development of an open-source governance platform and a decentralized liquidity protocol, while being actively involved in writing smart contracts.
That was a great opportunity to expand my skillset beyond development and gain experience architecting and designing products from the ground up.
Waves
Scala developer, Sep 2017 - Oct 2019
Joining the Waves team marked a significant shift in my career, as I transitioned from the familiar Microsoft stack to uncharted territories of blockchain and macOS. As a core member at Waves, I primarily focused on the blockchain node, dedicating my efforts to implementing consensus mechanism and advancing the smart contract engine. This role was not just a change in my technology stack but also a broadening of my technical horizons.

During my time at MFMSolutions, I led two distinct projects. The first was a Personal Finance app, equipped with background sync, offline access, and tools for in-depth analysis of spending stats.
