Overview

Propaganda is an agency that has worked with Coinbase, Replit, The Sandbox, Blackbird, Arbitrum, Kraken and others. I work with them on contract as a full-stack engineer. Mostly that means building frontends and connecting them to backends, plus rebuilding existing pages to new designs and some API work.

Kora

Kora is a prediction market for entertainment and culture. There are markets on music, creators, films, sport and politics, with live odds, and a Creators section where people trade on the creators themselves.

I built the frontend, wiring screens and components to the existing APIs in a Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS v4 codebase.

I also built the mobile screens for the PWA from the designs, and hooked up the APIs and the admin panel.

Blackbird

For Blackbird I built the new version of Flynet Make, the self-serve home for Flynet developers, who they call Makers. Makers sign in with Blackbird, get their keys and are walked step by step to a working integration.

The new design covered the public landing page, onboarding and the developer portal. The portal has an account overview, app and key management where secrets are only shown once, and a scope picker written in plain language. It also included the Create flow, where a Maker describes an idea and an AI agent refines it into an implementation plan and a customised starter project they can download.

I also worked on the frontend of Blackbird’s Back of House, implementing the design and connecting it to the backend APIs.

Back of House members page — total members, average spend and visits, with the searchable member table

The campaigns page — special offers, guest rewards and ads, with recent campaigns and their revenue

An event page — 'Rooftop dinner under the stars' with RSVP, guest list and a location map

Event payments — deposits, totals charged and payment status per event, with CSV export

Notification settings — email and push channels with per-type preferences, saved automatically

Corners

Corners lets people curate the best of the internet and get rewarded for it. A corner is a collection of links on one topic, idea or meme, and every corner has its own token on Base. Posts added to a corner show up as playable embeds, people can buy the corner’s token right from its page, and posting earns you fees. Explore and the leaderboards rank corners by market cap, posts and top curators. The project was supported by The Sandbox.

I owned the frontend, turning Propaganda’s designs into the feed, the corner pages with their market stats and buy flow, explore and the leaderboards.

Brand Site

I worked on Propaganda’s own landing page, which is heavy on animation, across mobile and desktop.

I optimised the images so it loads faster, without making the animations any less smooth.
