Journey

My journey began with a deep curiosity about the potential of cross-border payments within Stellar’s ecosystem. I was intrigued by how this technology could be harnessed for the greater good, and this curiosity eventually led to the idea of crowdfunding. I wanted to explore how Stellar could be used not just as a tool for transactions, but as a means to impact others positively.

Through my research, I gained valuable insights into Stellar’s mission and its evolution. Understanding how Stellar came to be made me realize a significant gap: developers often struggle with the workflow of what they want to build. This realization drove me to focus on creating content that clearly explains the workflow of crowdfunding on Stellar, ensuring that developers can approach their projects with confidence and clarity.

One of the most rewarding aspects of this journey was working alongside my teammate. Collaborating on this project allowed us to share ideas within an innovative and engaging ecosystem, combining our strengths to create something meaningful together. This partnership was a highlight of the experience, reinforcing the value of teamwork in navigating the complexities of the Stellar network.
