Web Team Lead at Blockonomics — building Bitcoin payment infrastructure.

Chris Nohall
About

Background

I lead web development at Blockonomics, building and maintaining Bitcoin payment infrastructure used by merchants worldwide. My stack spans React, TypeScript, Python, and PHP — I'm equally at home designing APIs and polishing UIs.

Outside of work, I build privacy tools and developer utilities that scratch my own itch. I care about shipping clean, working software over writing impressive specs.
