Johnson & Johnson Health Care Blockchain

Designed a private and hybrid blockchain based on Hyperledger Fabric. The solution was developed on microservices standards. It was designed to be used with off-chain and on-chain data. It was proof of a concept that was successful. It helped Johnson & Johnson to start exploring more in blockchain technology

Crypto Projects

Worked with Parabellum during the peak of COVID-19. They were a US-based startup working on Cosmos-based blockchain. I joined it as their leading blockchain solutions architect. I worked on many Cosmos-based decentralized finance projects like Gravity Bridge, Anatha, exchanges, and other smart contracts.

My biggest achievement was architecting and developing an arbitrage trading bot that got $50 million as funding. I also helped my company to gain a blockchain-based mobile operating system patent.

I revamped the whole solution with new technologies and migrated to AWS. Now Eovendo's monthly server costs are under $1000, and they are successfully running the business.

Quaestor Coin - Exchange, Master Nodes, and Trading Bot

Quaestor started with simple multi-level marketing and turned it into something big. Unfortunately, it went down during COVID-19. I worked with Quaestor as a solutions architect designing their blockchain, master nodes, shared master nodes, trading bot, exchange, and live streaming solution.
