learned a bunch about cnfts, minting burning them, landing txns on solana, querying das api amd keypairs, umi, metaplex etc
jun 3 shipped dripcraft v1
jul 3 shipped dripcraft v2 with a much more optimized burning mechanism
jun-mid to july end - contracted at wildcard doing crypto infra - didnt like it + was busy with moving countries so just quit
aug 10 went to mtndao in the us and met a lot of core engineers and now starting study on svm and contract optimization while building dripcraft v3
sept 14 finished dripcraft v3, will not be taking up any client work for min. next 2-3 months focusing on solana program dev and optimization
this took a bit longer because of procrastination, adjusting to college life etc
oct 9: learning rust and might start working at perena helping with solana core dev ( hard hard hard work )
oct 16: doing some data work for perena building dune charts for solana liquidity pools to figure out how stablecoins are moving on the chain, way harder than i thought, using dune sucks ass but such a useful tool; mostly a skill issue from my side
oct 24: lol i just went and started working with ben at the office without really doing any interview
nov 13: oh insane lock in happened, we launched perena v1; i built majority of the infra and integration parts along with zayyan
dec 5: holy fuck, 30M in our pools and almost a billion dollars of volume through swaps
dec 20: everyone left the team 💀im the only engineer on the team ( volume hit $3B btw )
jan 19: helped get the pools back from the lawsuit, fixed a bunch of issues with fees not going out on prod contracts, shipped new points mechanism, SCARY WORK WTFF i can pull a north korea if i want insane
feb 14: shipped indexing infra its so boring now i might leave this month or next
march: left and also dropped out of college, gonna take some time off and figure out what to do next, mostly not in crypto anymore
