About
I am building ProofPay to make sure freelancers always get paid. Clients lock money before work starts, and payment is released after proof is submitted or automatically if ignored. It removes fear and makes work fair for everyone.
Impact
ProofPay helps freelancers earn safely without fear of not being paid. It gives people more stability, especially in underserved communities, and builds a fair system where work is respected, trusted, and reliably rewarded.
Progress
Deployed core smart contracts for escrow and job management. Developed a working app where clients create jobs, freelancers submit proof, and payments are released. Integrated decentralized storage for proof. Currently refining UX and onboarding.
Team
I am a software developer building real products and supporting others through tech education. I understand the challenges freelancers face on a daily basis. I am committed to building tools that create real impact.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
