Charlene Nicer
I build things that help other people build things.
Senior software engineer with six-plus years of production infrastructure behind me — Ethereum node systems processing $2B+ in daily volume, cross-chain indexing pipelines, an institutional stablecoin — and, most recently, leading developer relations for a Layer-1 while still shipping the SDKs, demos, and integration code myself.
Good code isn't enough. The hard part is making it usable.
Start here#
- About — the longer version: what I build, how I work, what I'm drawn to.
- Now — what I'm actually spending time on, as of August 2026.
- Experience — six years of production systems, role by role.
- Projects — things I've built, on the clock and off it.
- Writing — 4K+ subscribers on Substack, plus the other kind of writing.
What this site is#
A reference, not a pitch. Every page is a markdown file in a repo, rendered plainly, so it loads fast and says what it means. If you want the compressed version, the CV is a PDF.
What I'm open to#
Senior backend and blockchain infrastructure roles. Advising early-stage teams on technical direction and developer experience. Speaking at your conference, or helping run your hackathon.
Tell me what you're building and what's actually hard about it — get in touch.
