About Julian
I am a dedicated and hardworking blockchain developer who fully invests his time into learning everything about the technology and building blockchain software. My goal is to help my clients by teaching them about blockchain technology, developing a software solution that leverages the power of blockchain, and guiding them through the entire process.
I can learn anything and I can learn it fast. I am highly adaptable and can form to fit any project role or need. I believe that communication is essential to the successful and timely development of a project. I pride myself on producing only the highest quality of work for my clients.
I have been developing software for 4 years. I am currently a senior Computer Science student at the University of Maryland, College Park (ranked 16th in the United States for Computer Science). I have interned at Grafiti, a technology startup focused on sharing legitimate, verified data. I have worked as a freelance web developer, building websites for several companies and individuals to upgrade their online presence.
Projects
BigCoin
A small scale blockchain for the purpose of teaching blockchain core fundamentals. The blockchain is secured through the SHA-256 hash algorithm and uses Elliptic Curve Digital Signatures on the secp256k1 elliptic curve (the same technology stack used to secure Bitcoin). The protocol also generates valid Bitcoin public / private addresses.
Blockchain And Cryptocurrencies: A Data Science Tutorial
A data science tutorial to walk readers through the data science life cycle while also teaching them about the technologies behind cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple. A webscraper is used to gather cryptocurrency price data from the internet which is then used to develop a machine learning model using linear regression.
Decentralized Crowdfunding Web / Mobile Application
A scalable decentralized platform that gives users an efficient peer-to-peer crowdfunding experience. The application is secured through smart contracts deployed over the Ethereum network. Built in Solidity, JavaScript, Web3, and Swift.
