Striga Pay: A Case Study
My Journey Till Now: From Lastbit Wallet to Striga Pay
I began with Lastbit Wallet, pioneering Lightning-powered payments. This was followed by my work on Lastbit Lite and Cards, where I wore multiple hats, including leading the mobile development team. My work culminated in Striga Pay, a complex project that combined multiple functionalities and cryptocurrencies. This journey encapsulates the range and depth of my skills and experiences.
Striga Pay was an ambitious project that aimed to combine two existing solutions—one for crypto+card and another for crypto+IBAN—into a single, robust application. As the project lead, I facilitated communications between the development team and the designers, steering the project towards its goal: simplifying complex crypto mechanisms and implementing multi-currency support.
