Backend Engineer
I'm Angela — a backend and platform engineer who thrives at the intersection of systems thinking, protocol design, and creative collaboration.
I've worked across crypto, fintech, transportation logistics, and regenerative commerce — including launching one of the first gas-efficient NFT contracts, raising 120 ETH for Boys Club with fees under $2 per mint, even during peak market volatility.
Right now I’m building Moral Authority (MOMM), an open protocol for verifying ethical product claims using AI agents, smart contracts, subgraphs, and federated data. It started as my graduation project and has since grown into a full-on passion project and vision for a more transparent future of commerce.
I recently completed the Deep Atlas ML Bootcamp, where I now collaborate with alumni on machine learning projects while job searching. I’m especially excited about AI agent ecosystems, zero-knowledge proofs, and interoperable trust infrastructure.
Outside of code, I’m the “friend group mom.” My partner and I host a ridiculous annual awards show for our friends (yes, with trophies), and I spend my evenings doing yoga, dreaming up recipes, solving puzzles, or making art.
This was the second of Boys Club’s first NFT launches, built to fund future initiatives.
I used the ERC721A contract to reduce gas fees below $2 per mint, optimizing for accessibility and scale.
Zaddy featured a pay-to-mint model, dynamic allowlist coupons, and a reserve mint function for partnerships.
Metadata was stored via IPFS and later pinned to Arweave for permanence.
The project raised over 120 ETH and provided benefits like DAO participation, airdrops, and community events.
I designed, wrote, and deployed this free-to-mint NFT contract for Boys Club’s first NFT drop.
The Main Character token rewarded early supporters with access to Boys Club’s Discord and future community initiatives.
Built to remove Web3 onboarding barriers for women and non-binary folks, the drop included WalletConnect integration, a custom dApp, and a coupon-based presale system.
It was designed to be gas-efficient, accessible, and mission-aligned—making it a true on-ramp for first-time collectors.
I led the concept, team formation, and product direction for Graphiqly—an on-chain NFT analytics dashboard designed to help founders track high-performing collections.
Graphiqly displays trending contracts, wallet activity, and successful NFT traits by category. We deployed on Polygon, integrated Coinbase Wallet and Chainlink for donations, and used The Graph for data aggregation.
We built a working subgraph, implemented Proof-of-Concept filters by collection type, and launched a notification system using Ethereum Push Notification Service (EPNS).
Moral Authority began as my capstone at Hackbright Academy—a values-based marketplace to help users ‘vote with their dollar.’
Since graduating, I’ve evolved it into a trust verification protocol called MOMM. It verifies brand certifications via public data and AI workflows, and publishes verified claims to a subgraph on The Graph Protocol.
Vendors sync products from Shopify or Etsy, manage listings via a dashboard, and display trust badges. Federation and zero-knowledge claims are in progress.
I built an end-to-end AI automation pipeline for RegenCircle’s bi-weekly podcast using Make.com, GPT-4, Feedly, Eleven Labs, and Google Workspace.
The system ingests selected articles, summarizes them via GPT-4, and compiles them into podcast scripts in a consistent voice. It also automates narration, publishing, and team collaboration via a Google Sheet interface.
Includes 14 Make scenarios and saves ~10 hours of manual work per week.
Acclivity is a dividend stock dashboard built to demystify investing for non-finance users.
Users build mock portfolios based on payout yield, sector diversity, and basic risk scoring.
I helped design the backend, seed a dataset of over 1000 dividend stocks, and integrate polygon.io APIs using dynamic key-swapping logic.
We learned about dividend structures, API limits, Git chaos, and the reality that finance data is expensive—but worth it.
