Relai

Description

For Relai, I worked on their Relai Private Web App which enabled clients and business users to buy and sell bitcoin. Here I worked on:

  • Added hardware wallet connection flow for BitBox, Trezor, Ledger, ColdCard. Saved +-10K CHF per month
  • Removed production downtime between deploys from 5 minutes to 0
  • New QR-code login flow compared to email/password
  • Enabled recurring bitcoin buys (daily/weekly/monthly)
  • Added bitcoin price chart and portfolio metrics tracking
  • Setup Sentry, Grafana logging and Automated Translations

What they said

  • I had the pleasure of working with Simon during his time at Relai, where he made a strong impact in just 7 months. From day one, he onboarded quickly, asked the right questions, and immediately took ownership of key components in our web app most notably the wallet signing flow, which is critical to our product.

    Despite the short timeframe, Simon proved to be a reliable and thoughtful developer. He worked autonomously, delivered high-quality code, and always kept the user and security in mind.

    I appreciated his calm, focused approach and his ability to integrate smoothly into a fast-moving team. Any team would be lucky to have him.
