- Client: Internal product

## Overview

A cryptocurrency and blockchain platform built as a gateway to digital assets. WalletConnect for connecting any wallet, IPFS-backed metadata via Pinata, GraphQL on Apollo for portfolio and trading flows, all wrapped in an interface that serves seasoned veterans and first-timers from the same screen.

## Problem

Crypto can be intimidating for first-timers and shallow for veterans. Most platforms pick one side. Bridging both means careful product design across exploration, trading, custody connection, and discovery, without dumbing the experience down.

## Approach

WalletConnect for letting users bring their own wallets, Pinata/IPFS for content-addressed metadata, a Node/MongoDB backend exposing GraphQL via Apollo for portfolio and trading flows, all behind a UI tested with both seasoned crypto users and people opening their first wallet.

## Outcome

A trusted platform that lets users explore, invest, and engage with digital assets. Built to serve veterans and first-timers from the same interface, without dumbing things down for either side.
