Bountycaster had some great initial success and was one of the first mini apps on Farcaster, but we were unable to find real PMF. My co-founder and I received some acquisition interest. We chose to join Farcaster's core engineering team, the path that made most sense given our builder experience and desire to double down on the ecosystem.
Role: Full-stack engineer working across backend (Node.js/TypeScript), web/mobile (React/React Native), infrastructure (Cloudflare Workers), data engineering (Dagster/dbt), Snapchain (Rust)
Some things I worked on:
•Mini Apps Platform: Led platform development from builder-to-builder perspective (since had unique insight as customers with Bountycaster). Built some SDK actions, developer tools, EIP-5792, and worked directly with external developers to support the ecosystem
•Payment Infrastructure: Built Coinbase Onramp for enabling quick fiat-to-crypto conversions
•AI-Assisted Development: Pioneered team-wide AI practices by creating comprehensive AI-ready documentation (CLAUDE.md) and other LLM-related tooling to accelerate development velocity of myself + the team
