Portfolio

Swipe Arena

Chief Technology Officer

Chief Technology Officer

As CTO, I am in charge of the entire backend, infrastructure, and technical aspects of the project. Swipe Arena is a game within the Telegram eco-system where players can earn a native Crypto coin as they progress within the game. I developed the entire backend code including all game logic, telegram integrations, payment systems, and more as well as made sure our infrastructure was set up in a way that was cost-effective but able to handle rapid growth. At some point, we had over 100k users come within 12 hours which was all possible through my setup of Kubernetes for the servers and proper data management through strategies like caching.

The first gacha PvP Game on Telegram.

Swipe Arena is the first game with complex combat mechanics on Telegram and TON Blockchain. In Swipe Arena you collect heroes which each have their own unique mechanics to battle other users or AI monsters in different game modes Choosing the right combination of heroes that synergize the best together is key in this 5v5 battle system. Dominate in combat and start earning the native $SWIPE crypto coin. Check out Swipe Arena now!

FlowBridge

Chief Technology Officer

CTO and co-founder

As CTO and founder of FlowBridge, I developed the entire application and infrastructure of the project hosting over 2000+ AI agencies. This includes setting up AWS infrastructure, engineering the software, designing the website, database architecture, scalability and much more. As part of our marketing efforts, I worked closely with Voiceflow to also launch informational videos, you can check it out on the FlowBridge youtube channel

Helping over 2000+ AI agencies connect to Meta platforms.

FlowBridge is a SaaS application I developed and founded which allows Voiceflow AI projects to connect with Meta platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram. AI Agencies who use Voiceflow can now easily connect their AI agents to these platforms without having to write a single line of code. This allows for a more efficient way of connecting AI agents to these platforms and allows for a more scalable way of connecting to these platforms. Check out FlowBridge at flowbridge.app. You can also check out the video above I did on the official Voiceflow youtube channel.

Backend Engineer

As backend engineer my primary focus is on making sure our backend software is scalable, maintainable and keeps on improving. As the first backend developer to join PerchPeek during the startup phase of the company, I was key in continuing the development of our logistical 'ops' platform. Though being primarily brought on board as a backend engineer, I also made my myself available to help with any other parts of the business such as presenting options for setting up customer service and providing support to both internal and external customers.
