About:
It is a best idea to ask me for Golang skills and for recent EOS/ETH development related knowledge, I’m also ready for Android ROM development. Although I do C++ development since 2008, its not my preffered language and my skills are likely equal to middle-level full-time developer staying with C++11.
I do not take office jobs due to my lifestyle and other tasks requiring very specific schedule and travel.
Currently affliated with:
There are these cool Dutch guys.
I do a lot of work on Secure Phone project for them, providing an enterprise phone solution with custom data protection, encryption services, hardened kernel etc.
TrustZone, custom TPM modules, blockchain integration, Android and Linux platforms.

Views:
- My reasons to work remote/do late hours and freelance are that I love to travel, and my personal project takes a lot of funding to makes ends meet, no VC involved at all and commercial applications are delayed up to Beta stage. Also working in that way adds a lot of extra experiences such as managing non-coding tasks, meeting new people and staying trendy.
- I don’t use Github as code storage because I’ve grown in the time where it was common and easy to set up a personal server and do all the sysops/backup routines by myself, and also 99% things I work on are non-opensource and/or non-public and business-critical know-hows. That said, I have to commit fixes here and there sometimes, I use it for collaboration when possible, and it serves as a good identity platform.
- Usually I work with Netherlandse, Ukrainian and Iranian people.
