Can you tell us about your role at Ledger?
My role entails building and optimizing frontend features while collaborating closely with design, product, and backend teams to deliver high-quality, performant, and user-friendly Buy/Sell/Card applications.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
Outside of work, I enjoy going to the gym, working on small side projects, and experimenting with new tech. I also love watching movies and exploring new music, which helps me relax and stay curious about the world.
What are you currently learning or working on that excites you?
I’m currently focused on advanced frontend performance and scalable architecture, exploring React concurrency, efficient state management, and design-to-code workflows to build faster, more maintainable interfaces. At the same time, I’m deepening my knowledge in the blockchain space to better align frontend development with the unique challenges and opportunities of Web3 applications.
What makes Ledger different from other places you’ve worked?
What makes Ledger different is the mix of meaningful impact and innovation. Everything we build ties directly to people’s security and freedom, and there’s a strong culture of collaboration where product, design, and engineering all push each other to do better.
What has been your development journey since you joined Ledger?
Since joining Ledger, I’ve grown a lot in how I approach problems. I’ve become more confident in owning features end-to-end, more thoughtful about writing clean and scalable code, and better at collaborating across teams to balance technical needs with business goals.
What’s the most rewarding project you’ve worked on at Ledger?
One project I especially enjoyed was creating the countdown feature that refreshes quotes every 60 seconds. It ensures users always see the most accurate rates in real time, while behind the scenes it brought exciting challenges around timing, synchronization, and reliability that I tackled together with design and backend teams.
How would you describe the team culture in three words?
I’d describe the team culture as collaborative, driven, and supportive. Everyone genuinely helps each other grow while pushing to build the best possible products.
What's a piece of advice you’d give to someone who is just starting their career?
My advice to someone starting their career would be: stay curious and ask questions fearlessly. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, because that’s how you really learn and grow. Always try to build things that challenge you.
