Summary

I am a developer with over 13 years of experience, including the last three years dedicated to blockchain and Web3 technologies. My expertise spans key technologies such as Solidity, Node.js, Foundry, GCP, NFTs, Vue, and Tailwind, which I consistently leverage to build innovative decentralized applications and solutions. I am deeply passionate about the transformative potential of blockchain and its applications across various industries. In addition to my experience in the blockchain realm, I have spent over a decade developing high-quality, scalable, and maintainable code for industrial automation systems. I have had the privilege of working with industry giants like Ford, General Motors, JEEP, among others. This background has provided me with a unique perspective on quality, safety, and security, and has made me a highly adaptable developer. By combining my extensive knowledge of Industrial Automation with my current blockchain expertise, I am well-positioned to bridge the gap between traditional industries and the emerging world of decentralized technologies. My goal is to drive innovation and efficiency through blockchain, helping to revolutionize industries with the power of Web3.

Work History

Web3 Developer

niftyhorde GmbH
11.2021 - Current
  • Engineered bespoke NFT smart contracts using Solidity and Foundry, tailored to diverse project requirements, ensuring robust security and optimal performance. These contracts incorporated advanced features such as delegation, Base64 metadata encoding, and cross-contract interaction. Adhering to industry best practices, I implemented cutting-edge security measures and optimized contract efficiency to support scalable, reliable NFT ecosystems, facilitating the creation of versatile, secure NFT solutions aligned with each project's specific needs and goals.
  • Developed a versatile internal tool using Vue.js and Node.js to interact with smart contracts across multiple blockchain networks. This tool dynamically lists all contract methods and generates function calls for both reading and writing operations. Users can effortlessly upload ABIs, connect to any chain ID (including local nodes), and interact with contracts through intuitive input fields that provide detailed data type descriptions. This solution enhanced productivity by automating repetitive tasks, reducing errors, and providing a streamlined interface for smart contract interaction, ultimately shortening the development cycle and accelerating time-to-market.
  • Built a comprehensive CryptoPunks test environment using Solidity, Foundry and Node.js, enabling the replication and local interaction with the original CryptoPunks smart contract. This environment utilized custom deployment scripts to automate the setup and deployment of smart contracts, securely storing relevant addresses in custom variables. By providing a robust framework for testing and development, this environment facilitated the creation of multiple projects based on the CryptoPunks contract, including the Yuga Labs-recommended platform (punks.swap.kiwi) for wrapping, streamlining development and ensuring accuracy and security in project outcomes.
  • Developed a CLI tool for interacting with Google Cloud services (Firebase and Firestore), effectively managing local, staging, and production databases. This solution reduced human error to zero in our Team and fostered a stress-free environment by leveraging Firestore Emulators.
  • Created proofs of concept for innovative new solutions.
  • Streamlined API integration for seamless communication between frontend and backend systems.

Software Engineer

Klaus Multiparking GmbH
08.2019 - 11.2021
  • Designed and programmed PLC applications using Structured Text, and Function Block Diagram to control complex industrial processes. Expertise in integrating PLCs with SCADA and MES systems, coupled with strong debugging and troubleshooting skills, ensures reliable and efficient control systems
  • I have led testing and commissioning efforts, validated programs in simulated and live environments, and prepared comprehensive technical documentation.
  • Developed user-friendly Human-Machine-Interfaces using Javascript, enabling operators to monitor and control processes with ease. My work includes creating graphical representations of processes, real-time data displays, and diagnostics, enhancing system visibility and operator interaction. I have also provided training and ongoing technical support to ensure seamless adoption and usage of HMI systems.
  • Programmed and configured motion control systems, including SEW Movidrive, to achieve precise movement in parking tasks of Premium Cars. My experience extends to tuning motion parameters for optimized performance and integrating these systems with PLCs and HMIs for coordinated control
  • I have a strong focus on implementing safety protocols and ensuring compliance with industry standards.
