Profile: https://flows.cv/malikjean

As a Software Engineer II at Coinbase, I leverage my web3.js expertise to build innovative and secure solutions for the crypto economy. I graduated from 42 Silicon Valley, a software development school that taught me how to learn, think, and code in a collaborative and project-based environment. My core competencies include React, TypeScript, Golang, gRPC, and microservices architecture.

Previously, I worked as a Software Engineer at Twitch, where I spearheaded the creation of React/TypeScript-based account management pages, and developed vital Golang/gRPC microservices for ad incentives, formats, and allocation strategies. I also implemented comprehensive tests, conducted A/B testing, and formulated robust monitoring and alerting systems. I am passionate about creating user-centric and scalable web applications that deliver exceptional value and performance. I enjoy working with diverse and talented teams that share a common vision and goal, and that support each other's growth and learning. I am eager to bring my skills, experiences, and perspectives to Coinbase, and contribute to its mission of creating an open financial system for the world.
