DinosaurDerek/README.md

πŸ‘‹ Hey, I'm Derek

I'm a senior software developer based in Canada with 9 years of experience building web applications in startup and SaaS environments. I bring a strong foundation in frontend development, especially with React, and have spent much of my career working full stack on backend systems using Laravel and Django. Recently, I've been expanding into backend JavaScript with Node.js and building projects in the Web3 space.


πŸ”§ Projects

πŸš€ Rocketlink

A visual crypto dashboard built for Chainlink's Chromion hackathon and expanding on Token Dash.

  • Displays real-time and historical token prices using Chainlink and CoinGecko
  • Integrates Chainlink Automation to trigger smart contract updates on Avalanche Fuji
  • Built with Next.js and Solidity

πŸ“˜ Narrative API

A backend API that aggregates topic summaries from mock crypto sources (Farcaster, CoinDesk, Decrypt).

  • Built with Fastify, TypeScript, TypeBox, and a PostgreSQL database using Prisma
  • Demonstrates modular API structure, schema validation, testing, database integration, and structured logging
  • Includes auto-generated Swagger docs for developer usability
  • Builds on Fact Check API for initial project setup

A Node.js demo exploring the Bitcoin UTXO model and RPC-based blockchain interaction.

  • Connects to a local Bitcoin Core node via RPC
  • Lists, parses, and displays UTXO data from the wallet
  • Builds, signs, and broadcasts testnet transactions
  • Demonstrates how the UTXO model underpins Bitcoin transaction validation and spending

A fun, minimal prototype testing Web3 wallet integration. Explores EVM chain compatibility and wallet connections with RainbowKit, Wagmi, and Viem.

🌟 Token Dash

A simple crypto dashboard that displays token prices using CoinGecko. Built as a focused frontend showcase with React and Emotion.
