About Me

Meswar Al Arik
Web3 & Web2 Developer
Hey, I'm Meswar Al Arik
I'm a full-stack Web3 developer, backend architect, and founder of Metaforge.dev and ZeroLayer.
My core focus is Cardano. I've built advanced staking systems, minting tools, token utilities, automation flows, and more for major projects. At the same time, I work across Solana, EVM, and full backend/frontend stacks.
I build complete systems from scratch. Frontend, backend, smart contracts, wallet flows, APIs, automation, and everything in between. Whether it's an on-chain reward engine, a live minting dashboard, a liquidity tracker, or an analytics bot, I make it work in production.
I don't just write code. I solve problems and deliver results.
