Amine Mrad

• Designed and developed the entire front-end of the StakePad platform, creating a modular and scalable architecture in React/Next.js with TypeScript. • Implemented and managed wallet connections across multiple networks (Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, TON), ensuring seamless onboarding and secure user transactions. • Integrated and optimized APIs to fetch staking data (TVL, APR, rewards) and execute on-chain actions such as stake, unstake, claim, and compound. • Built and refined a clean, responsive UI/UX using Tailwind and shadcn/ui, improving usability and accessibility for institutional and retail clients. • Collaborated and iterated with product and blockchain teams to ensure reliable cross-chain operations and align front-end features with strategic business goals.

• Co-founded and architected a synthetic trading platform delivering rapid, transparent, and secure DeFi trading experiences. • Built and optimized a complex trading interface with React/Next.js, integrating real-time price feeds, advanced order management (market, limit, stop), live PnL tracking, portfolio views, and risk metrics. • Developed and integrated wallet and network management, ensuring seamless onboarding and low-latency user interactions across the platform. • Designed and implemented much of the smart contract architecture for the decentralized perpetual exchange, covering position management, margin rules, liquidation logic, and automated challenge verification. • Collaborated on challenge mechanics, enabling users to purchase challenges and trade with simulated capital, while enforcing rules (drawdown, duration, leverage) through on-chain keepers. • Delivered a scalable and modular front-end able to handle high-frequency trading actions, error management, caching, and real-time synchronization with on-chain states. • Led full-stack development efforts, ensuring robust integration between the trading UI, the backend services, and smart contracts.
