# Crypto DeFi Borrow & Lend Platform for Professionals

- **Stack:** CI/CD, Data Visualization, Next.js, Storybook, Python, Node.js

### A Bloomberg terminal for the crypto market

Term Structure is working to redefine the crypto trading market with a
polished, refined edge. They have built their own Zero-Knowledge (ZK) Rollup
that they use to provide high-throughput trading in the secondary market. In
their words: "Interdependent primary, secondary, and repurchase bond markets
allow users to take risks and hedge with flexibility. Transparent cost and
zero slippage provide a better trading experience." I built Term Structure's
professional services portal as an alternative to their consumer-friendly
offerings.

### Building three micro-applications

Term Structure Pro is a collection of three separate micro-applications I
built using an NX monorepo in conjunction with GitLab distributed pipelines
for CI/CD. Each app targets a different stage of the professional trader
workflow and shares a common component library.

### The API and data layer

I worked with a Product Manager and Senior Backend Engineer on the team to
build out the API necessary to provide data to the front end via WebSockets
as well as a traditional REST interface. The WebSocket layer powers real-time
order book and trade updates; REST handles account state and history.
