What I built.

I built MintLab’s address search and token-launch flow, taking the product from engineering through launch and operations.

The product reached 100+ deployments and 500+ Twitter followers. I wound it down when marketing operations became too expensive.

The skills behind it.

  • Go

    Search and launch APIs connecting address discovery to the rest of the product.

  • Solana

    Address validation, wallet signing, token deployment and transaction state.

  • React

    The search, token-details, payment and deployment screens.

How it works.

  1. Find a match

    Search for a word at the start or end of an address. The underlying search had to produce valid Solana keypairs, not just strings that looked right.

  2. Make the search practical

    Seven-character matches were available in under five minutes on a single RTX 3090. Custom GPU work extended the search to ten-character matches.

  3. Carry it through launch

    Address selection fed into token details, distribution, payment and deployment. I owned the complete product flow, not only the search engine.
