About Me

Hi, I'm Brendan, and I've been in the software development game for over 8 years now. My focus is on full-stack development, which means I handle everything from the frontend (like Mobile and Web applications) to the backend, including Blockchain Applications, often referred to as dApps.

My journey began in 2014 when I started tinkering with HTML and CSS to create static webpages. This led me to dive into JavaScript, exploring frameworks like React and React Native. Backend-wise, I've focused on Node.js, building robust applications.

More recently, I've been fascinated by blockchain technology. I've been exploring the world of Ethereum and learning how to write Solidity contracts, which are the backbone of smart contracts that run on the Ethereum network.

Over the years I have had the pleasure of being involved in quite a number of large and small scale projects. I’ve worked as a freelancer, a full-stack developer at Jaden Digital, a couple of different start-ups in the cryptocurrency world where I was the lead developer, and now currently as an engineer at Westpac

Here are some technologies that I've worked with recently:

  • React
  • Solidity
  • NextJs
  • Typescript
  • Javascript
  • NodeJs
  • React Native

Featured Project

Blockframe NFT Search Tool

A collaborative effort to bring searching for NFT's on the Ethereum network easier.

This was a final project done in a bootcamp course by Encode Club, funded by the Ethereum Foundation.

Arbitrage Scanner Code Screenshot

Featured Project

Arbitrage Trading Bot

An automated trading tool used to scan multiple exchanges for profit opportunities. It utilizes algorithms off-chain to execute transactions on-chain via custom Solidity contracts.

Additionally, it explores triangular trading opportunities, verifying profitability before executing transactions on-chain.

Sunterra Frontend Landing Page Screenshot

Featured Project

Sunterra

The application is primarily responsible for players being able to mint land, and then manage that land via the interactive map.

The application utilises the Cardano proposals CIP30 and CIP-0008, to give the user a seamless sign up / login process via their chosen Cardano Wallet.

Featured Project

Sunterra (Backend)

This application is responsible to handing the entire automated minting process that is triggered by either the frontend application, or a user sending ADA tokens to the official Sunterra wallet address.

It is also responsible for handling the entire user base, as well as the ownership and information against each land plot.

Featured Project

Polygon NFT Minter

This project was built in React and utilises the Alchemy API in order to mint an NFT via a Contract that was deployed to the Polygon Blockchain Network

This dapp also allows a user connect via their Metamask Wallet.
