Projects I worked on, at Cyfrin
I was hired to work on Aderyn full-time based on open source contributions I made back in 2023 as a Cyfrin community member. Later, I got a chance to join the platform engineering team and worked on multiple end to end on full-stack features in collaboration with design & product team, marketing team and sales. Together, we built some amazing products for the blockchain ecosystem. The team was spread worldwide and we worked fully remote.
