about
Over 6 years of experience, continuously pushing the boundaries of Software Engineering.
Hey, I'm Rapheal (aka Astron or Nhuxhr /nʌks/), a passionate software engineer from Nigeria with a knack for software development.
Born out of curiosity and a drive to solve real-world problems, I've honed my skills in JavaScript and Rust to build high-performance applications.
My engineering philosophy? Prioritize modularity, testability, and collaboration. Leading me to contribute open-source tools like the `pumpfun-rs` SDK, which has garnered 148+ stars on GitHub. Recently, I teamed up for the Solana Renaissance Hackathon, where our Nigeria-based payment app, Nomad, secured 3rd place. Starting with JavaScript fundamentals, I dove into systems-level programming with Rust, where I now thrive on optimizing for speed and safety.
Fun Fact: "Soro soke" (speak up) isn't just my vibe, it's how I advocate for underrepresented voices.
