Opensea is the largest NFT marketplace. I started working here following Dharma's acquisition.The most rewarding project I participated in at Opensea was the creation of the Creator Team and the gradual development of OpenSea Studio. After years of supporting only secondary sales, our newly-formed EPD team was tasked with building a creator-focused platform within OpenSea. This platform aimed to simplify the complex process of launching a Web3 project, significantly aiding numerous creators in starting with Web3.Key Achievements and Learnings:- Backend: Django (Python), AWS- Frontend: ReactJs, HTML, CSS, Typescript- High-Quality Products: I had the opportunity to build products that I am genuinely proud of, both in terms of UI and technical excellence.
