Hi, I'm Kamila! I began my web development journey 8 years ago and for the last 2 have committed myself to learning web3 technologies. I have considerable experience with solidity and rust and have developed dozens of smart contracts for ethereum/solana. I also have considerable experience with nextjs, typescript, and postgres, which has become my stack of choice for most dapps. Through my career I have dabbled with several avenues of programming including security, data science, and computer vision, though nothing has satisfied me quite like web development. I was born in Mexico City and moved to the US when I was was 15. Because of this I am fluent in both Spanish and English. Shortly after moving to the US, I studied computer science at the Rochester Institiute of Technology where I graduated with a 3.95 GPA After school, I worked as a fullstack engineer at Target for 3 years where I primarily worked on supply chain API's and UI's. I then decided that enterprise life is not for me and jumped into the startup world where I've been enjoying my time working with small teams!
In this project, I built a decentralized forum via Polygon that allows users to post and answer programming related questions. Users can post a question for a small fee at which time they also offer a reward amount to incentivize answers. Other users can pay a small fee to answer the question and make them eligible for the reward. Those answering must pay a small fee to prevent them from spamming questions with poor quality answers. For 1 month answers to a question will be hidden, but interested parties can pay a small fee to see the answers and upvote them. After this month has passed, the user with the most upvoted answer will receive the allocated reward.
In this project I built a smart contract and UI to allow users to purchase ad slots on my blog. My dev/design blog brings in 1k unique hits per day and provides unique exposure to top developers and designers. This gives users the opportunity to advertise to a highly educated and passionate community. Ads can be scheduled through a calendar and purchased in the app, though must be approved before they will display, therefore it's advisable not to schedule an ad to run immediately after purchase.
