Turning Emerging Technology into Scalable Solutions with Systems Thinking and Creative Collaboration.

About Me

Angela Purcell - Backend Engineer

As a backend and platform engineer, my specialty is pioneering and implementing emerging technology. I thrive on the edge of development, mastering novel systems to solve complex challenges across fintech, logistics, crypto, and AI.


I've architected solutions ranging from a gas-efficient NFT contract that raised 120 ETH to developing Moral Authority (MOMM), a passion project and open protocol that uses AI to verify ethical product claims.

My recent studies at the Deep Atlas ML Bootcamp has deepened my focus on the tools shaping the future of digital trust: AI agent ecosystems, zero-knowledge proofs, and interoperable infrastructure.


Outside of code, I'm known as the "friend group mom"—a role I embrace. I bring that same care, organization, and attention to detail to every project I build.

Systems Thinking

I approach complex problems with a holistic mindset, building scalable solutions that consider the entire ecosystem.

Mission-Driven

Every project I work on aims to create positive impact, from transparency in commerce to democratizing Web3 access.

Proven Results

From raising 120 ETH with innovative NFT contracts to saving 10+ hours weekly with AI automation.

Future-Focused

Passionate about AI agent ecosystems, zero-knowledge proofs, and interoperable trust infrastructure.
