Experience
Avail Project - availproject.org
Senior Staff Engineer • Remote (Dubai)
  • Own frontend architecture and technical strategy across Avail's product ecosystem, establishing component libraries, CI/CD standards, and architectural patterns across 3+ core product surfaces.
  • Conceived, architected, and secured executive buy-in for Nexus One, a unified component system that consolidates multiple product interfaces into a single configurable element.
  • Architected and shipped Nexus Fastbridge, a cross-rollup bridge UI with a custom Vite-based SEO solution that generates per-chain HTML pages at build time, achieving full SEO without Next.js.
  • Leading frontend migration to Nexus v2, a backend-driven architecture leveraging EIP-7702 to reduce signature requirements via ephemeral wallets.
  • Shipped Nexus SDK Injector to Chrome Web Store, injecting Avail's chain abstraction SDK into DeFi platforms (Hyperliquid, Pendle, Yearn, Scroll).
Arcana Network - arcana.network Acquired by Avail
Lead Frontend Engineer • Remote (Dubai)
  • Owned the entire frontend engineering function across 4.5 years, growing from sole frontend engineer to lead. Managed hiring, onboarding, and team continuity through multiple bear market contractions and a company acquisition. The frontend team transitioned fully intact into Avail with zero disruption to product delivery.
  • Built Arcana's Chrome Extension wallet from scratch, a non-custodial sidebar wallet supporting 13 blockchains, transaction signing, dApp injection (Aave, Uniswap, Lido, Hyperliquid), and unified cross-chain balance management. 750+ users, 4.7★ on Chrome Web Store during a bear market. Provider injection system built by studying MetaMask's architecture. Technology later extracted into a TypeScript SDK for B2B distribution.
  • Built SendIt, a gamified cross-chain transfer app (email/X/ENS instead of wallet addresses). Scaled to 65K+ accounts and 20K+ peak DAU. Traffic exhausted Netlify Pro limits despite aggressive caching, migrated entire frontend infrastructure to self-managed AWS. Included leaderboards, anti-farming safeguards, and NFT rewards.
  • Architected Arcana's Developer Dashboard from scratch, the primary interface for Web3 developers to register dApps, configure auth providers, manage storage, and customize the embedded wallet. Vue 3, TypeScript, Chart.js.
  • Shipped Skizzle within the first month, Chrome + Firefox extension for E2E encrypted email attachments using InboxSDK and gmail.js, RSA keys via Web3Auth (Torus), and decentralized storage. ~1,000 users, 4.2★ on Chrome Web Store.
  • Migrated marketing site through WordPress → Nuxt → Webflow → Framer, freeing engineering dependency to design team.
Hashbinary Services - hashbinary.com
Full Stack Developer • Mumbai (Hybrid)
  • Architected Pricinger, a privacy-focused Chrome Extension with multi-region VPN proxies (AWS: Albania, Slovenia, India, Greece), geolocation blocking, user agent spoofing, cookie clearance, and an automated crawler that identified optimal settings per-site. ~1,000 users, 4★ rating.
  • Built APIs and dashboards for Jagran (India's largest media conglomerate, demographic & psychographic analytics), QBuild (floor plan annotation for construction), and 8SQM (NZ car wash booking with GeoJSON).
