A little about me

I’m a software developer with a hearty love for open-source and a fascination with the crypto/blockchain universe. I’m the proud author and caretaker of the open-source BitSai Bitcoin wallet. I’ve spent countless hours crafting full-stack web apps, PWAs, CLI utilities, Bitcoin-related apps, Ethereum DAPPS, web scrapers/crawlers, and automated bots. When I’m not busy building, you’ll find me exploring and contributing to open-source projects. I also have a knack for DevOps stuff, such as configuring Linux systems, setting up Docker containers, and delving into the mysteries of different Linux kernel modules.

Skills
Programming Languages
Typescript
Golang
Rust
Javascript
Python

These are the languages I can confidently say I'm well-versed in. Hand me any project in these, and I'll be off to the races!

DevOps and Tools
Linux
ArchLinux
Vim
Git
Docker
Kubernetes
Github Actions
Jenkins

These are the tools of my trade: I use ArchLinux for daily programming and app testing, with Vim as my trusty text editor (though I do jazz it up with a good number of plugins). Docker is my go-to for running apps and databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL. And of course, I use Git for version control, with Github Actions or Jenkins handling my CI/CD needs.

Web Development - Frameworks and Libraries
Frontend
ReactJS
VueJS
HTML
CSS
Backend
Node
Express
Flask
PostgreSQL

I'm always aiming to make my apps less dependent on external servers, so I can make the most of the amazing capabilities that modern browsers offer.

Blockchain, web3, and Dapps
Bitcoin-dev
Ethereum-dapps
Solidity

I'm a firm believer in the transformative power of blockchain technology. It has the potential to revolutionize many tech sectors, making them more secure, transparent, and decentralized. That's why I'm committed to building blockchain open-source projects, to help bring this future to life.
