Bio
I am a software engineering student at Santa Clara University. I have had the opportunity to live all over the world, and to work with people from different cultures on many projects. Over the years, I have accumulated a lot of experience in application development, website development, and specialised programs, especially in the field of blockchain. Today, I work as a freelancer in my spare time, allowing me to contribute my expertise, gain skills and work in a fast paced environment that suits me. Fuelled by a passion for exploring new different applications of technology and being curious innately I am particularly interested in the new possibilities that blockchain offers and want to pursue a career in the technology and finance sector.

Work & Posts
A personal guide to evaluate and invest in web3 projects
A brief note to discovering the next big thing in web3 and constructing a risk-efficient portfolio in the medium term.
Unlocking DeFi Profits with Cyclical Arbitrage
Part of my internship at PyratzLabs was to engineer a cyclical arbitrage bot for DeFi. Cyclical arbitrage shines in its ability to repeatedly utilise opportunities within uniquely characterised swap loops. This approach impressively expands the frontier of regular arbitrage strategies available in the conventional financial market.
Elva Update: what we’ve accomplished so far and what’s next
Elva is a new social network designed to connect groups of friends and simplify event planning. We won a pitch competition and generated interest from 2000 people in just 3 months. The next step is to launch the app and find partners to achieve our goals. I wanted to take some time and talk about Elva’s journey and its vision to help people take back control of their social life.
From budgeting gadgets to Excel: The Fate of Start-up Optimization Tools
In a world where innovation and disruption are the norm, startups are constantly on the hunt for the next big idea. But, as the saying goes, "not all that glitters is gold." Many startups, in their pursuit of creating the next game-changing solution, fall prey to a common pitfall: designing products that does not align with the needs of their target audience.
Memo on creating and distributing great internal apps
Making internal apps is not as easy as it seems. There are many things to consider, so here are some guidelines to help you make great apps that will help your company grow.
AIRE PaymentsProject
AIRE is an internal payment system platform, built for education. Using blockchain technology under the hood, AIRE Net is capable of processing transactions securely under a second making it suitable for real-world transactions.
A note on developing real-world payment system with the blockchain
The blockchain is an incredible tool for storing and manipulating data. But it is often too slow to be used for anything other than cryptocurrencies in the real world. It is especially true for payment systems that need to scale.
Web GuidelinesProject
Today the web is more than ever affected by inconsistency. And that's understandable because of the permissiveness of the web that causes this entropy, almost inevitable. That's why I'm happy to announce a new resource, continuously updated, defining rules and tips to provide a more uniform and accessible experience to the citizens of the web!
Ma Seconde Cabane: E-Commerce Case study
Case Study on Ma Seconde Cabane, an e-commerce site I built on top of the NextJS & Vercel ecosystem for scalability, reliability and maintainability reasons. Here is a detailed report of my work on the website, from its creation to deployment.
Euclid CalculatorProject
Euclid is a scientific calculator that supports Excel formulas, LaTeX, smart converter, and more. Get everything you should expect from a modern calculator in a simple and sleek interface. Solve advanced math problems anywhere: Euclid is a native app available on both macOS and iOS.
Merging CrypTool & CrypTools
In early 2020, the CrypTool project decided to merge with a similar project of the same name, CrypTools, founded in 2017 in Australia by Arthur Guiot, Lucas Gruwez and Luka Lafaye de Micheaux. CrypTool, much older and known, thus completely absorbs the project under its name.
The mistake that drove my mailbox crazy for 24 hours.
Last week I had to quickly deploy a Euclid patch and API on a global network present in over 200 cities because of a silly error. So this is why you should never use third-party services in an app.
StudIO CodeProject
StudIO is an iOS app that simulates the same complete development environment that you have on macOS or Ubuntu (or other *nix OS) machine. It primarily focuses on iPad, but it does work perfectly fine on any iPhone.
