Dear Polkadot Community,
My name is Juan, and I am a graduate of PBA7 – Bali.
Background
I am a Full Stack Developer with 5 years of professional experience. I began my career in blockchain, but later transitioned into Web2 after receiving an opportunity to work on CERN’s open-source project, Indico: https://github.com/indico/indico
My main focus was developing a private plugin for this platform, which serves millions of users worldwide. While most of my contributions remain private, I successfully resolved several bugs and contributed features to the open-source project as well.
At the end of my contract in late 2024, I decided to return to Web3, completing both PBA-X and PBA programs.
Motivation
I am now eager to contribute to open-source projects within the Web3 space, and recently discovered the Polkadot Fellowship. My goal is to actively support the growth of the Polkadot ecosystem and, over time, advance within this community based on merit and contribution.
At present, I am familiarizing myself with the initial PR process and actively engaging with the community on Discord to identify areas where I can be most helpful. While my expertise is in backend development, I am also capable of working on frontend tasks, particularly with React, when necessary.
Here is my GitHub profile for reference: https://github.com/jbtwist
Given my current stage, I would like to kindly request the Level 0 rank.
Sincerely,
Juan
