Work Experience

Solidity/React Developer

2021 - PRESENT
Aragon
  • Worked on Aragon's solidity protocol contracts that help people to seamlessly launch DAOs cheaply and securely.
  • Helped to build a DeFi ecosystem (like convex and curve) where stakers' voting power increases as time goes by, which allows them to vote on gauges and get reward emissions.
  • Worked on LayerZero's cross-chain system to allow people to bridge their tokens to L1 chains for cheaper on-chain voting.
  • Highly trained in the YUL, assembly, gas-optimization, secure code analysis, IPFS, swarm, ethers.js, hardhat, and most importantly, foundry, alongside writing clean and important tests (including fuzzing).
Technologies: Solidity, Solidity Assembly, React, Ethers.js, IPFS

NFT Developer

2020 - PRESENT
Freelance
  • Developed the NFT collection (Doge Army by ShibaDoge) with the smart contracts, revealing the metadata depending on time interval with the freezing options integrated with IPFS.
  • Developed the NFT collection (Rave The Future) with the smart contracts, minting website, revealing metadata with public and pre-sale options even running simultaneously. Used the special smart contracts to reduce minting gas costs.
  • Assisted in developing the NFT collection (We Are the OutKast) with the smart contracts only.
  • Helped to write Solana NFT collection with Candy Machine v2, which was challenging because of the roadmap.
Technologies: Ethereum, Solidity, JavaScript, React, Rust

PWA/Vue.js Developer

2020 - PRESENT

  • Worked with Webpack 4, SplitChunksPlugin for advanced optimization, and wrote custom plugins.
  • Worked with Kidaptive's Adaptive Learning Platform team (AI-based algorithms that empower educational companies to use the data they collect to increase learner engagement and improve outcomes) and integrated it into our platform.
  • Wrote custom components, plugins. Integrated Vue's advanced features to maintain testable, efficient-ready code for better maintenance.
  • Integrated Azure's CI/CD tool, Data Factory(triggers - that copy data from AWS buckets to Azure Storage buckets), CDN profiles, and more.
  • Fixed and maintained other developers' code (three games for children for learning purposes) written in Phaser 3.
  • Worked with different advanced features of browser API (visibility API, IntersectionObserver, FullScreenAPI, and many more).
  • Implemented IndexedDB, LocalStorage, SessionStorage, and Cache API for different caching purposes.

Experience

Translive

This is a smart digital transportation management system for all carriers and shippers, which makes logistics much more efficient and improves profitability. Our marketplace connects them using data to match freight with capacity, pairing the right load with the right carrier on the requested route and guarantees cost savings.

Translive Mobile App

Translive mobile version for Android. This app has an integrated tracking system. It uses accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer to detect when the device is moving and stationary and also It's a battery-conscious motion-detection.

Coinetic

https://github.com/novaknole/Blockchain_Hyperledger/wiki
I created an exchange platform like binance.com. Alongside the exchange platform, I designed a supply chain solution in the blockchain industry to give wine companies the chance to deliver the goods at first with the help of blockchain.

As an internal tool between/for companies, I also led the team to design a scalable solution by using Hyperledger Fabric. During the process, I got to talk to IBM's core developer for Fabric to learn more since the official documentation at that time lacked so many good explanations. In the end, I ended up writing my own version of the documentation for Hyperledger Fabric.

Bitforx

I designed and built a mining platform like antpool.com with the help of Node.js. The decision of building a new pool was made to reduce the fees that actual mining pools take before they pay to the actual miners (solvers of the block in proof of work).

Dublin Airport

Co-creator of this excellent and reliable pre-booked service both to and from Dublin Airport.

Move With Luxury

Words say and prove themselves. Quote from the website - "Bene Exclusive is a provider of professional luxury transportation services. We transport our clients in comfort and style, on a level that exceeds all of their traveling expectations. Every client we transport, whether for business, airport, tours, special events or just an evening out, receives our concentrated individual attention to details, you can simply relax and enjoy the ride."

My First Game on Pixi.js (WebGL and Hardware Acceleration Needed)

As this is my first time writing something all alone through WebGL API, I didn't consider writing it cleaner or more precisely. The main idea was to give me a little nudge to dive into how WebGL works and how helpful it could be to write the fastest applications.
