About Me

Vini Barbosa (Vini B) is a technical writer, documentation engineer, developer relations partner, and security researcher with 6+ years of experience in blockchain and web3 helping teams explain their products, build useful docs, educate developers, and navigate open-source security responsibly.
I’ve always been the person people ask to read the complicated game rules and product manuals and then explain them clearly. Today I do the same thing with blockchain protocols, smart contracts, and developer tools.
Vini is also an active user and contributor to OSS, with notable contributions in different ecosystems and developers communities. In particular, he runs a NEAR validator node (thecoding.pool.near) with over 400K+ staked NEAR( NEAR (~800K) and is a top 10 governance delegate on NEAR House of Stake with 300K+ veNEAR (~$600K) in delegated voting weight.
Available as an independent contractor for docs engineering, technical writing, and devrel projects. Quickstart an engagement now or check Pricing!
