Hi, my name is CJ

Hello!

About me

Currently located in Baltimore, Maryland but can sometimes be found where the snow is better.

Project Website

M&T Bank Total Cash and Wilmington Trust CIT Platform

Full-stack Software Engineer working in Angular, .Net Core 5 & 6, and SQL Server for nearly 2 years across 2 AGILE teams and projects. The first being the Total Cash application which handled billions of dollars in Wire and ACH transfers annually. The second one was a Collective Investment Trust onboarding & management platform. That application supports managing about $115 billion in assets and has since been spun out into a separate business.

Website

Gnosis Chain

Took part in a fellowship program with Gnosis Builders, where I helped to improve their chain analytics and with the launch of the new documentation site. My primary area of focus was around bridging, where I also got experience with a production issue. I currently operate a validator for Gnosis on my old college laptop as well.
