My name is Nikos Papadakis and I am writing to express my interest any role of Blockchain Developer. 

Through my career so far, I developed applications using different tools and programming languages. I have confidence of using something new to me and with hard work and research I can deliver results quickly. I would like to have the chance to work in a Web 3.0 company that uses Blockchain technology, develops smart contract or any other company that wants a backend developer with some experience in Java EE. 

My last role was Software Developer at Netmechanics LLC, an e-commerce company and I have been involved in developing Booking System for Car Rental business using Java EE 8. 

Aside from this, I was asked to develop a mechanism to help the Digital Marketing department to fetch their monthly reports from platforms such as Google Analytics, Google Ads and Facebook Pixel. I developed a connector (software in power query m language) that connects Power BI software with the aforementioned platforms through their APIs. Data is fetched and is displayed in visualizations of Power BI ready to be used by the Digital Marketing department.

In other projects in Netmechanics, I designed a Web Crawler, using Apache NiFi, so that we can collect data from a web portal and store them in a database for further processing. In Netmechanics we use Microsoft Azure cloud computing and I had the chance to work with some of its subsystems, like Blob storage, Event Hub and some minor use of Azure Databricks.  

Previously, I worked for Empelor GmbH, an IT security start up based in Zug, Switzerland, in their office in Crete (Heraklion). There, I was assigned with the development of an iOS software (static library) for online banking and payment applications using smart cards using  Public Key Infrastructure environment (PKI) for security methods for generating cryptographic keys (RSA cryptosystem) and for encrypting / decrypting data on the Smart Card.

Another project I implemented was a reference code for Android application for NXP MIFARE DESFire contactless smart cards which can be thought of as a memory card with access control and as Blackberry BB10 smart card driver for mSD smart card.

I intend to try to enter the emerging field of Web 3.0 and Blockchain development. Currently I am trying to shape my path towards this direction and fill in the technological gaps and improve all missing skills for this sector by reading and coding (Solidity, ReactJS, EVM) in online bootcamps to get knowledge and implement this knowledge in some personal project.

I believe I can succeed on every programming task that would be assigned to me and I am willing to learn new things and improve myself. Given my experience, I believe I fall in the Mid-level developer’s category for Software Development but Entry level for Blockchain Development field, but I am confident that within the developer's team and the right working environment I will be soon in position to improve myself quickly.

I live in Heraklion Crete, Greece and I am open to relocation.

I look forward to hearing from you if you have an available role that fits my profile.

Kind regards
