Employment
Experience
- ShipChain, Inc. (Development)https://github.com/ShipChain
As the CTO, I oversaw the design and implementation of every project on the ShipChain Github between its creation in 2017 and my departure at the beginning of 2020.
Noteworthy projects include:
• Engine: TypeScript RPC service and secure wallet host for interacting with blockchains without requiring constant user approvals
• Transmission: Django REST caching layer for storing and querying blockchain data
• Smart contracts: Blockchain smart contracts for identity, notary, and escrow services built on Blockchain.
• ShipChainMobile: a Kotlin Android application for updating tracking locations - AnnexTracker (Development)
This provides real-time analytics for high volume advertising campaigns; it optimizes media buys for thousands of segments and datapoints and instantly detects outliers and problems hidden in big traffic influxes.
After six years of profitable operation, the project has been taken down due to lack of usage since 2017. - Hotsauce (Development)https://code.netprophet.tech/netp/hotsauce
I developed an automatic "Kubernetes Backup Manager" to take and restore live snapshots of databases and PVCs and running other administrative commands in a cluster.
