Summary
I began coding at the age of 10 and working in game development and later co-founded a media center with over 25 million users. After almost entirely shifting my focus to blockchain development I successfully built and launched AdEx Network and Ambire Wallet. In 2017 I co-founded AdEx Network which is an ad platform that allows crypto companies to bid for ad space on traditional consumer websites, targeting users who are interested in their product or service. This experience helped me to better understand how blockchain technology works. During that time I also became an active member of the worldwide crypto community, shared my thoughts and participated in relevant conversations on platforms like X.com (formerly Twitter). The knowledge and expertise I have gained now allow me to create cutting-edge blockchain solutions that meet the needs of businesses and individuals alike. In 2021 I co-founded Ambire Wallet - the first open-source EVM smart wallet with email login that delivers a UI-focused experience while ensuring strong security. Fully self-custodial, the wallet engages on multiple L1 and L2 networks, interacts with dApps and unleashes the full potential of account abstraction. As the CEO of Ambire Wallet, I'm leading a team of skilled developers and designers, and building innovative products for the crypto space. I am a recognised speaker and have presented on the stages of Devcon Bogota 2022, ETHCC, ETH Berlin, ETH Prague 2023 and various podcasts. I was also featured in publications like Cointelegraph. Knowledgeable about all things crypto, blockchain and Web3, including: Web3/Blockchain development Security Smart Contract Wallets Account Abstraction Ethereum and EVM development Web3 UX DeFi, Cryptocurrency and tokenomics, etc.
