Following the Midnight Foundation's recent wind-down of its developer relations team, my time at Midnight has come to an end.
I built the developer education and AI developer tools, a dozen-video series explaining how ZKP and network implementation, a certification academy, and an MCP server downloaded 10,000+ times. Some of my favourite moments were the conversations, from fireside chats with builders to the hours spent alongside partner teams shipping on the network. Thank you to the team, the developer community, and every partner I worked with.
Before Midnight, I spent over two years at Axelar working hands-on with partner teams building cross-chain applications. I designed their integrations, reviewed their code, and wrote the reference implementation developers used to send messages between blockchains.
Before developer relations, I spent over four years as a backend engineer, building systems serving tens of thousands of users, data pipelines, and enterprise software for banks and telecoms. I also founded Web3 Afrika, a community of builders. That engineering background is what I bring to developer relations: I can sit with a team, read their code, and help them ship to production.
Now I'm looking for my next role in developer relations, forward-deployed engineering, developer experience, developer support, solutions engineering, or AI engineering. I'm based in UK with a UK Global Talent visa, so no sponsorship is needed in the UK, and I'm open to remote or hybrid. Available now.
If your team is hiring, or you know one that is, I'd love to hear from you. An intro or a repost would mean a lot.
Portfolio and CV in the reply, kindly help RT

The Hack Buenos Aires was full of new builders and familiar faces. 🇦🇷
Seeing developers build their first Midnight application alongside teams continuing to push the ecosystem forward is exactly what these hackathons are about.
Thank you to every builder, judge, mentor, and member of the Buenos Aires community who made this weekend special.
On to the next 👏

From PBA-X to PBA Bali 🌍 What starts online doesn’t have to stay online!
Meet Lucas from Argentina, Veronica from Azerbaijan and Juan from Spain. These three students began their journey with PBA-X, our online course and later took the next step by joining PBA Campus in Bali.
Through PBA-X, they gained a solid understanding of the fundamentals of blockchain, as well as an introduction to Polkadot, guided by the people who are building it. That foundation gave them the confidence to apply for the next step: joining PBA Campus in Bali.
🚀 In this video they share how PBA-X prepared them for this experience, the most valuable lessons they’ve carried forward, and how learning directly from the builders of Polkadot has transformed their journey!
👉 Start your own journey with PBA-X and take the first step toward becoming a Web3 builder: pbax.polkadot.academy/

🏆 Throwback on the PBA Pitch & Mentor Final in Lucerne!🇨🇭
One week ago, students took the stage one last time to introduce their bold Web3 ideas after intense weeks of building and improving their pitch.
CONGRATS TO:
🥇 CoverMax
Premium-free DeFi insurance using protocol-level diversification. Congratulations to @sree_sana5835 for winning this Pitch & Mentor Award! (he’s now even offering a dev bounty to stress-test it… 👀)
🥈 Polkatax
A simple solution for crypto tax reporting because builders deserve better spreadsheets.
🥉 Lodestar
A keyless wallet designed for real people. Clean UX, smart recovery, no stress.
& every other team, you were great too!
👀SURPRISE
We also had a cameo of a PBA Hong Kong Alumnus, @peer3_to founder @lukastanisic99
He dropped a live hiring pitch of their bootstrapped solution for real-time p2p smart contracts, cutting costs and latency in web3 apps (now backed by a @Web3foundation grant and OpenGov funding)
We were so proud and happy to see him share their experience to our new cohort! 🤝
Big thanks to:
Our students, mentors, jury including @PolkaBiz, @MarioSchraepen, @Chris_Nift, @the_seraya, @DrW3RK @nachortti, @timadamd, @MartaPBA, the whole PBA team, and every other person who helped make this happen.
