Hey! I'm Sergio, and I work as a web developer at Daffy from Perú.

In 2021 I joined Daffy, while still in stealth mode, to kick off the application working on the API of the platform and getting the web application ready for launch.

In the last year, we worked on many things here for the web, like ensuring it's fault-tolerant, making the different URLs load as fast as possible, implementing the UI for various features like connecting bank accounts, credit cards, crypto. Etc. With more coming soon.

We also give us time to reflect on previous features and improve them by changing things to continue to improve the UX or refactoring things to improve our DX.

If you join me, you will be part of a team with lots of control over how we make our web better; we will work together to craft the future of donor-advised funds on the web and help create the API the mobile apps use.
