I build systems that matter
I'm Shan Wain, a backend-leaning full-stack developer with nearly 4 years of experience building and working on distributed systems for some of the world's most important organizations.
At EY, I was the sole technical lead on a blockchain-based aid disbursement platform used by the IMF, UN, and World Bank. I scaled it from 500 to 7,500 users, reduced security vulnerabilities by 95% and refactored the entire authentication system from scratch.
Now I'm channeling that experience into CROW, a SaaS platform for automotive repair shops, while pursuing AWS and CISSP certifications.
