Active 1 months ago - Hi Open Zeppelin Defender Team, I’m Dane, a kiwi living in “Silicon Bali”, I’m here for the surf and lifestyle, but also the budding scene of techies working on various interesting things. Blockchain is a frequent conversation point here, and when I first moved from New Zealand to Bali back in 2017 you couldn’t have a conversation without touching on the topic. I dived into this space on the back of the hype, made some good money investing, and then lost most of it also. Hopefully, the lessons I learned in this will serve me well in the next bull run! I also touched on some crypto development back then, I was prototyping an atomic swap exchange between BTC and ETH/ERC20. It was hard, the tooling was poor and the online help few and far between, I also dabbled in creating a bot that traded on various TA strategies and backtested them. I eventually returned back to web2 as I was busy leading the development branch of a SaaS startup at the time. Fast forward a few years, and I’m looking for new opportunities, in web3 again, I see that the world stage has been set for cryptocurrencies, I believe in the original, maybe slightly idealistic views behind Bitcoin and blockchain, and the DeFi space is red hot right now. I want to be part of building the new financial system, to get my hands dirty in this space, I don’t have any genius ideas of my own right now, so am eager to get building for others. My vision is to be whatever sized part I can be of assisting blockchain adoption and creating this new, more efficient, and fair financial system. I’d love to touch base and see how I might be able to assist Open Zeppelin to achieve its mission/vision while building my own domain knowledge and experience. Regards, Dane

Active 2 years ago Community Manager
Active 3 years agoAvailable now📍PhilippinesHi there, Aldrin here also known as Crypto4chun in youtube. I do manage my personal groups in facebook, twitter, and even telegram, being understanding, knowledgeable and lot of patience is the key to stay healthy managing community. I started also my journey in crypto trading wayback 2015 and started backtesting that year, being blind sided with the chart details since its price action is starting. After that year, 2016 is my first losses but the important thing is I learned from it, until now I still trading crypto whilw doing vlogs and other stuff related in crypto. It's my passion now and I want to share my skills, ideas and knowledge for this kind of evolving market.- I have been going into the web3 rabbit hole for some time now and have developed an intense fascination and confidence in this space. This has sparked a strong desire in me to be a part of this revolutionary new technology. My prior experience in financial markets and the trading world has given me enough exposure to know what’s exactly wrong with today’s financial and technology world. Web3 offers a solution to a lot of these problems and offers a unique opportunity to build something extremely valuable for the future and I want to be part of this space in any way possible. I have been working as a Data Engineer for around 3 years now. I spent my first 2.5 years at Capital One, designing Data Pipelines and building threat detection models to flag cyber security threats. During this I was involved in the areas of Advance Python programming, SQL, Data Pipelines (ETL), Databases, and AWS. I moved to Germany in October last year to join Tier, a shared micromobility startup as a Data Engineer. I am a part of a 3 member team building and managing the whole Data Analytics infrastructure at Tier. This involves working with Terraform, Kubernentes, kafka and AWS and I have developed a fairly good understanding about them. I am personally responsible for building and managing Zeppelin and Airflow, 2 very important technologies we use at Tier. In addition to my Data Engineering experience, I have also been actively developing a fully autonomous algorithmic trading system to trade Index derivatives in Indian stock markets. The system is capable of deciding the daily trades, putting in orders, and tracking live profits using Broker APIs and webhooks. The system trades strategies that I have backtested on the last 5 years of market data. Implementing this system has given me a fairly good understanding of how the stock markets work. Fetching real-time market data gave me first-hand experience in real-time streaming using Celery task queue and Redis broker. Building this system taught me a lot about financial markets and the world of stock trading. As a next step I would love to apply my skills in the areas of Web 3.0 and develop a deep understanding of how this industry works. I'm sure that your team with experienced engineers enable me to hone my skills and allow me to contribute to the future success of the company. I would welcome the opportunity to have an interview and I look forward to hearing from you! Sincerely, Nikhil Mudholkar
Senior Software Developer
Active a year ago - For the most part of my career, I have worked as a Market Risk Quantitative Analyst for investment banks, dealing with financial derivatives. As such, backtesting is nothing new to me, although the world of cryptocurrency is, and I am spending some time navigating the infrastructure and the universe of cryptocurrencies. If I understood the role / product offering correctly, the role seems to be focused on the strategy around replication of long/short leveraged position in cryptocurrencies through the derivative market, potentially with periodic rebalancing of the replicating portfolio. (Apologies if I misunderstood). This, in itself, does not sound too complex from a quantitative perspective - perhaps we can have a chat to discuss? Regards, Chieng
Quant Analyst
Active a year ago Cryptocurrency Analyst
Active a year agoAvailable now📍United StatesI was excited to see the open Cryptocurrency Analyst position at Chainflip. I believe that through my excellent programming, research, and analysis abilities I can add substantial value to Chainflip’s team as they seek to better understand their niche in the rapidly evolving crypto ecosystem. Since graduating from the Python-based FinTech program at Northwestern University in October 2020, I’ve completed projects that backtest and simulate many different strategies and weighting schemes for equities that I’ve learned about through academic papers. My most recent project interacts with a user through AWS Lex, and also features machine learning and an ETH smart contract that acts as a virtual bank account. My contributions earned me a recommendation from the professor to serve as a teaching assistant for the program starting this month. This experience, combined with the knowledge I’ve gained as a Level III Candidate in the CFA program, would serve me well as a member of the Chainflip team. My background allows me to have a more complete understanding of the financial and technical aspects of crypto markets and projects. Through my previous study of C++ and Java, I learned how to solve complex problems and maintain precise attention to detail while not losing sight of the big picture. My enthusiasm for learning and growth led me to add cryptocurrency to my expanding portfolio in 2012. Beginning with little technical knowledge and despite poor user interfaces at the time, I developed sufficient proficiency to trade and transact, operate several mining rigs, and operate 3 Dash Masternodes, which earned a steady weekly income. Through both research and experience with varied cryptocurrency investments, I came to understand types and use cases of different coins and how they would collectively form a diversified portfolio. I love to learn about new projects and the differentiators that may enable some projects to succeed and others to fail. Early forums like bitcointalk.org, podcasts, and conversations with friends gave me an appreciation for the diverse opinions and motivations within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Understanding the interplay of the different communities within crypto would be very helpful from both a market analysis perspective as well as a networking perspective. I know that I can utilize these qualitative and quantitative abilities to analyze projects, whitepapers, and market dynamics as a Cryptocurrency Analyst at Chainflip. Furthermore, my passion for learning and entrepreneurial spirit would help me integrate well with your team. Thank you for your time.Head of Trading | Head of Risk | Head of Transformation

I am a Master of Quantitative Finance degree candidate at Fordham University. I come from an analytical background, with a degree in Statistics - specializing in Machine Learning - from the University of Toronto in 2021. I am deeply interested and engaged within crypto and its community. I develop trading models and write about defi protocols focusing on tokenomics, among other quantitative findings. I am using previous experiences with traditional finance and data analysis and applying it to defi. I write analyses/thesis of defi protocol on Medium and Twitter, using various resources from dune analytics to discord. Intending to be an active member in the DAO, I am currently taking the Our Network Dune Analytics course, brushing up on SQL while learning the inner workings of smart contracts, eventually backing my DAO proposals and analysis with my own data. Before entering the crypto space, I wrote fundamental research on companies published on my blog. I used qualitative skills learned in my previous internship at Silicon Valley Bank to analyze companies and assess potential default risk. Being from a quantitative background, I frequently parse through data to build trading models. Having built two machine learning trading models, I understand the continuous effort of backtesting, optimizing, and working with large datasets. VerdeX being one of the first protocols on Algorand, I am excited to be early in a nascent ecosystem. I think I am a perfect fit for the venture capital analyst intern. With my experience in quantitative analysis and fundamental research, I believe this internship is an excellent place for me to contribute to Verdex and the Algorand ecosystem in general. I would appreciate the opportunity to interview. I have submitted my resume, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I appreciate your consideration and look forward to hearing from you.
Web3 Venture Capital Analyst Intern
Active a year ago - I spent two years at IMC as a trader, first on the index options market making desk and then as a member of the systematic volatility team. My experience includes signal research, portfolio optimization and backtesting applied to a low frequency vol portfolio, as well as tool building, automation, and order flow analysis for the MM desk. My time at IMC gave me a well rounded skillset and was a great learning experience. After investing in Solana in January 2021, I voluntarily left IMC in June to pursue a basis arbitrage startup as the fourth member of a lean team. My responsibilities include strategy research and business development. While we've had some successes, the current macro environment has been challenging for the suite of strategies we have in our mandate and so I am open to exploring other opportunities.

Senior Front End Developer
Active 2 years ago Product Designer
Active 2 years agoAvailable now📍VALBONNE FRANCEI'm Kevin LAUHARATANAVISAIS, a 33 years old self learner living in France. I've been to school until I ended up in an post highschool art class, and wondered what I am doing here. So I bought a truck, turned it into a real wood RV and traveled accros France and Europe. I met a lot of people and learned what is human being, all sort of them, from the most intellectual to the most brutal savages minds. I naturaly have a lot of empathy and I understood with experience, that it's a very good thing to anticipate people's need and expectation. So I have been creating small online retail shop, selling battery and offgrid equipment and made a living out of it (before amazon revolution), travelling with the truck. Thanks to droppshipping partners who handled all the shipping and delivery process, I basicaly just had to find and hook customers on internet. Then after almost 9 years traveling, a good friend told me he read about bitcoin. I told him, yes I used it when it was only 2 euros a piece on second life, and then I checked the price, it was insanely high and I just totaly cliped in my mind. What the hell is happening ? So I digged into bitcointalk.org, I digged more and more until I found out, something big was happening (it was february 2017) I told all my friend to "all in" in ETH, none of them regret that move. Then it was time to learn about mining and how it can be profitable. After we demystified all the technical details, we ended up building our own mining pool, own shared masternode service, own escrow service, own project launch help service. I have been involved in many project community, offering my help to the runner, and helping new arrival to understand the point of the project and most of it, how to properly use crypto wallets and exchange. I spent countless hours helping people to adopt crypto. Of course I had some interest for the project to bloom, I would always ask for kind of compensation for the work. I've learned a lot about what project should do and what should be avoid. Then I learned how to clone blockchain, reset it, secure it, customize all details (code and wallet), staking, masternodes, are not secret for me. So I've been doing request job for other people back in 2018/2019 until there's too many other people doing the same and I couldn't find anymore customers. This was time for me to recycle, but what to do ? I went to Japan for a vacation trip, and the overall extrem discipline and level of perfection, really astonished me. It really stuned me and the feeling I had when I came back in front of my trading monitor, I will never forget, I litteraly decompiled all precious understanding from my subsconscious. I organised all my though at once, and it was all clear, just need discipline and work on all the little details to accomplish great things. Work hard, repeat after repeat, training after training, build solid mastering of any kind of art. Trading is a very difficult discipline, but once you identified all the important factor to master, it become clearer and easier to manage and to work on it. To build that successful trading environment that leads to a successful trading experience. Since then I've been learning and experimenting a lot of trading strategy, used many different trading platform and exchange, tried many trading bot platforms. I'm trading with the same money I initialy invested back in 2017 (2000 euros) and I've been living out of trading/mining/blockchain cloning since that time. And I never reinjected fund from my personal bank account. That's mostly for my crypto background. Now about UI UX design. I never did that for a company, as a corporate job. But I did it for my own projects, and all brainstorming and market study I did, was studying other projects and see the little details that makes the difference. There's always that details than makes it right or wrong and it always good to use others experience to avoid mistakes. I wanted to design my own trading bot platform, I hired a full stack dev and we studied every aspect of the idea, until we found out the bottleneck that made most of the function impossible, it's the API request limitation to 1 second refresh. If anything happen between these two refresh, bot can't react. So I think I'm pretty good at designing user interface because I'm a user myself with very specific expectation, I'm often looking for that thing that doesn't even exist. Being empathic helps to narrate the user journey and they most likely gonna think and feel when facing a specific event. I saw binance growing, from the early days it only started, and I must admit, they built a real bomb, very nice example to follow I think for any launching exchange, and few things that could be improved if we can design platform as we wish without much limitation. I also saw other exchange being less used because of lack of functionality and really need UI UX improvement. I recently started a crypto blog, mostly educational. https://cryptoselecto.com In this Covid aera, I'm looking for a remote job, living in France, I think that could fit with you in Oslo. Kind regards, Kevin LAUHARATANAVISAIS- I have extensive professional as well as academic experience in blockchain technology, including managing and developing several products and projects in the last 4 years.
