During January 2026, Alex contributed to the DefiLlama/defillama-server repository by delivering a branding update for the Perma-Pod lending protocol. Alex updated the protocol’s name and description to ensure accurate branding and clearer communication of its functionality, directly addressing user onboarding and reducing potential confusion. The work involved making targeted TypeScript code changes, aligning documentation, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to synchronize messaging. By refining the public-facing aspects of the protocol, Alex improved user understanding and streamlined support processes. The project demonstrated proficiency in DeFi concepts, front end development, and effective coordination across teams, though the scope was focused and concise.
