Implementation Engineer (Professional Services team)

🔍 Exploring the Intersection of Technology, Finance, and Macroeconomics 🔍 My journey began at EPFL, where I earned a Master's in Mechanical Engineering, specializing in Energy with a focus on Management, Technology, and Entrepreneurship. My fascination with financial markets and macroeconomic trends soon led me to earn all three levels of the CFA, equipping me with a deep understanding of asset management, risk analysis, and investment strategies. 💡 Pivot to Blockchain: Bridging Traditional Finance and Decentralized Innovation 💡 I transitioned into the blockchain space with a drive to merge my technical expertise with my passion for finance. I pursued an MSc in Blockchain and Digital Currencies at the University of Nicosia, gaining a comprehensive understanding of cryptographic systems, blockchain technology, digital currencies, and open financial systems. This educational background, combined with practical experiences, allowed me to dive deep into topics like zero-knowledge cryptography, smart contracts, and decentralized finance. 🔧 Hands-On Experience: From Research to Development and Beyond 🔧 With roles spanning from Blockchain Researcher to Curriculum Developer, I have led initiatives such as the development of educational programs for the Polkadot Blockchain Academy, conducted in-depth research on digital assets, and worked on various blockchain-focused projects. I've had the opportunity to collaborate with cross-functional teams and educate others on the power of decentralized technologies. 🌍 Macroeconomic Trends and Blockchain: A Strategic Perspective 🌍 Understanding global financial systems and economic trends is essential in today's rapidly evolving digital landscape. I leverage my expertise in macroeconomics, blockchain, and investment analysis to provide insights on the impact of digital assets on traditional finance. With a strong foundation in quantitative analysis, I aim to bridge the gap between traditional monetary systems and the decentralized future. ✨ Key Skills ✨ ▪ Blockchain Development (Rust, Python, Substrate) ▪ Macroeconomic Analysis & Investment Strategy ▪ Cryptographic Systems and Smart Contract Development ▪ Digital Asset Research & Technical Content Creation ▪ Agile Project Management (PMP, Lean Six Sigma) ▪ Financial Analysis (CFA)
